마음은 동요하기 쉽고, 혼란하기 쉬우며, 지키기 힘들고, 억제하기 힘들다.
또한 마음은 잡기도 어려울 뿐만 아니라 가볍게 흔들리며, 탐하는 대로 달아난다. 단지 지혜있는 사람만이 이를 바로잡는다.
마음은 보기 어렵고 미묘하나, 지혜 있는 사람은 이 같은 마음을 잘 다스린다. 마음을 잘 다스리는 사람이 곧 안락을 얻는다.
The mind is easy to influence, easy to confuse, It’s hard to keep steady, hard to hold down. Also, not only is the mind difficult to grasp, it can be shaken up if lightly disturbed and one can flee from desires only if one can control their thoughts. Only a wise person can correct this. The mind is hard to be conscious of, A wise person is good controlling their mind in a subtle way. A person who is well-controlled soon gains real comfort and peace of mind.

꽃은 바람을 거슬러서 향기를 낼 수 없지만, 선하고 어진 사람이 풍기는 향기는 바람을 거슬러 사방으로 퍼진다.
The scent of flowers cannot go against the wind and neither can that of sandalwood, rhododendron or jasmine. Only the reputation of virtuous people can go against the wind. The reputation of the virtuous is wafted in all directions.
There are the scents of sandalwood, rhododendron, lotus and jasmine, but the scent of virtue surpasses all scents.
– Dhammapada Verse 54 & 55
