CHAPTER IX. Investigation of Acts.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Valmiki and Mitra, Viharilala
40. When you have the good will in you, you must accomplish your purpose, by means of your activity and subjection of the organs of your body.
41. So long as your mind is imperfect and unacquainted with the state of divine truth, you must attend to your teacher, books and reasoning, and act according to their directions (in the paths of truth).
42. Having first finished your acts and known the truth, you must abandon even your meritorious deeds, and all your desires with them.
43. Having known by your good understanding, that the virtuous course led by honorable men is truly good, give particular attention to know the nature of God, then forsake even that (enquiry), and remain (silent) as a saint (muni).
