Somamittattheragāthā

“Parittaṁ dārumāruyha, yathā sīde mahaṇṇave; Evaṁ kusītamāgamma, sādhujīvīpi sīdati; Tasmā taṁ parivajjeyya, kusītaṁ hīnavīriyaṁ.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Somamitta

If you’re lost in the middle of a great sea, and you clamber up on a little log, you’ll 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.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Pavivittehi ariyehi, pahitattehi jhāyibhi; Niccaṁ āraddhavīriyehi, paṇḍitehi sahāvase”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Dwell with the noble ones who are secluded and determined and always energetic; the astute who practice absorption.
