Test yourself, keep your aim unimpaired; an
ornament purified in the fire receives additional
lustre. You need converse with no one; view
the world without concern; your mind will find
repose. A man may deny that he has broken
his fast, but a belch will disclose the truth; the
liar’s lie brings trouble on himself. Tuka says, The
praise and blame of others are both idle; it is your
own attitude of mind that bears fruit.
