04:21 pm - The World

168-174

This world is blind! There are so few
Who see things as they truly are.

Come, take a good look at this world,
Pretty like a king's chariot.
Though fools become immersed in it,
For the wise there's no attachment.

See how much it's like a bubble!
See how much it's like a mirage!
The king of death does not see one
Who regards the world in this way.

Rouse yourself! And don't be lazy.
Follow the good ways of dhamma.
