[304] 7. "The mind (citta), gone off delighting, hoisting itself as upon a stake — this way and that you go, wherever there is the stake, the block of wood. You, O mind, I declare a calamity; you I declare a betrayer of the mind. A Teacher hard to find you have found: do not urge me on to ruin." Thus the Elder Anūpama. _______ ¹ The European edition reads "sunikkhamo."
