Stick to the advice he gave you, aspiring to unshakable happiness. If you\u2019re lost in the middle of a great sea, and you clamber up on a little log, you\u2019ll sink. So too, a person who lives well sinks by relying on a lazy person. Hence you should avoid such a lazy person who lacks energy. Dwell with the noble ones who are secluded and determined and always energetic; the astute who practice absorption.","title":"Vimala (2nd)","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":82}
