1. Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
    All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
    If one speaks or acts with a corrupt mind, suffering follows,
    As the wheel follows the hoof of an ox pulling a cart.

2. Mind is the forerunner of all actions.
    All deeds are led by mind, created by mind.
    If one speaks or acts with a serene mind, happiness follows,
    As surely as one's shadow.
