Mind is the forerunner of (all evil) states.

Mind is chief; mind-made are they.

If one speaks or acts with wicked mind, suffering follows one,

even as the wheel follows the hoof of the draught-ox.

Mind is the forerunner of (all good) states.

Mind is chief; mind-made are they.

If one speaks or acts with pure mind,

AFFECTION follows one, even as one's shadow that never leaves.

(Dhammapada Verses 1 & 2)

Even as rain penetrates an ill-thatched house,

so does lust penetrate an undeveloped mind.

Even as rain does not penetrate a well-thatched house,

so does lust not penetrate a well-developed mind.

(Dhammapada Verses 13 & 14)
