MAÃ KHERU
Good speech is more hidden than malachite, yet it is found in the possession of female servants at the millstones.
If find a disputant arguing, one having authority and superior to you,
bend down your arms and bow down your back; if you disagree with him he
will not side with you.
You should make little of the evil speaking by not opposing him in argument;
for it is by this means he will be dubbed a fool when your self control
has matched his verbosity.
If you find a disputant arguing, your equal who is your own level, let your virtue be manifest against him in silence when he is speaking ill; great will be the talk on the part of the hearers and thus your name will be fair in the opinion of the magistrates.
...Listen to my voice. Do not pass by my words, do not be indifferent about what I shall say to you. Acquire a good character without transgressing, for laziness on the part of a wise person does not happen....
Do
not set your heart upon seeking material wealth
For
there is none who can ignore destiny and fortunes
Do
not set your thoughts on external matters
for
every person there is an appointed time...
Do
not exert yourself to seek out excess
And
your wealth will prosper for you
If
riches come to you by theft
They
will not always spend the night with you
As
soon as the dawn breaks, they will not be there
Although
their places can be seen, they are not there...
Every
thing in the Cosmos
is
forever changing.
Things
are born,
they
die and they
come
into existence again.
All
these changes are governed by law..
natural
laws ordained...
The
Cosmos is never changing..
time
is a circle
look
at the sun....look at the moon
the
present from the past
the
future from the present
a
circle
all
points are linked
none
can say
here
is the link
the
beginning
the
end
for
all points both perched
yet
there is deeper understanding
the
past has departed
and
no longer exists
the
future has not arrived
is
yet to come
even
the present
does
not last
so
how can it be said to
exist
when
it does not stay still for a moment
