Engaging in Bodhisattva Behavior - Shantideva, 7th century Indian scholar (Bodhisattvacharyavatara) 8. Far-Reaching Mental Stability (1) Having increased my zestful vigor like that, I shall set my mind in absorbed concentration; Since a person having a distracted mind Is set between the fangs of disturbing emotions. (2) Through dissociating (both my) body and mind, There'll be no occurrence of any distraction; Therefore, I'll set aside worldly concerns And bring my rambling thought to a halt. (3) Worldly concerns are not discarded Because of sticky attachments and thirst for material gain and the like; Therefore, to set these things aside, Someone with knowledge would discern like this: (4) "An exceptionally perceptive state of mind, joined onto a stilled and settled state, Completely destroys the disturbing emotions." Having understood this, first I shall seek a stilled and settled mind; And that's achieved through delight in detachment from worldly concerns. (5) (After all,) any impermanent person Having sticky attachment to impermanent beings Won't see those loved ones again (after death) For many thousands of lives. (6) Not seeing them, I'll be unhappy And my mind won't settle in absorbed concentration; Even if I've seen them, I'll never be satisfied, And, as before, I'll be tormented by longing. (7) From being attached to limited beings, I'm blocked from (seeing) things as they are; I lose any sense of disillusionment too; And, in the end, I'm tormented by grief. (8) Because of thinking only of them, This life will pass without any meaning, And through noneternal friends and relations, I will come to lose the eternal Dharma. (9) Having acted equal to the lot of infantile people, I'll surely go to a worse rebirth state; If I'm led to a lot that's not (even) equal, Then what have I gained by relying on those infantile folk? (10) One moment, they're friends; In an instant, they're enemies. At a time for being delighted, they fall into a rage: Ordinary beings are so difficult to please. (11) Told what's of benefit, they get enraged And cause me to turn from what's of benefit too. But, if their words aren't listened to, They fall into a rage and go, then, to a worse rebirth state. (12) They're envious of superiors, competitive with equals, Arrogant toward inferiors, conceited when praised, And hateful when told what they don't want to hear: When is there benefit from infantile beings? (13) If I associate with infantile people, Then destructive behavior inevitably arises among infantile folk, Such as praising myself and belittling others, And prattling on about the pleasures of samsara. (14) From entrusting myself to others in this way, Nothing but loss comes about in the end, For they'll be, in fact, no-good for me And I'll be, in fact, no-good for them. (15) So let me flee far away from infantile folk; But if encountered, I'll please them with pleasantries, And without becoming overly familiar, I'll conduct myself nicely, merely as an ordinary person would. (16) Obtaining only what's helpful for Dharma, Like a bumblebee honey from a flower, I'll live without having familiars, Like having never seen any of them before. (17) "But I get a lot of material gain and honor, And many people like me." If I hold on to being conceited like that, Terrifying things will arise after death. (18) Thus, no matter what my bewildered mind Becomes attached to; In conjunction with each of them, Thousandfold problems arise and stay around. (19) Hence, the wise have no attachments, (Because,) from attachments, terrifying things arise. As these (objects) will naturally be discarded (at death), Be firm and consider this well: (20) There've been many people with material wealth And there've been many with fame and reputation. But it's never been known that they've passed on to some place Where their amassed wealth and fame have come with. (21) If there are others who belittle me, What pleasure is there when I'm being praised? And if there are others who praise me, What displeasure is there when I'm being belittled? (22) If limited beings, with varied dispositions, Couldn't be pleased by even the Triumphant, What need to mention by the poor likes of me? Therefore, let me give up my preoccupation with worldly people. (23) They belittle limited beings lacking material gain, And, regarding those with material gain, they say bad things; How can any pleasure arise with those Whose company is, by nature, so difficult? (24) The Thusly Gone (Buddha) has said, "An infantile person isn't anyone's friend," That's because the friendliness of an infantile person Doesn't arise except through its serving his own self-aims. (Friendliness through the gateway of its serving self-aims, Is friendliness just for the aims of a "self"; Just as distress at the breaking of some material possession Is something, in fact, that comes from a loss of self-pleasure.) (25) In forests, however, wild creatures, birds, and trees Never say bad things about you And are happy when befriended. When shall I come to live with them? |
