preceded by the heart
ruled by the heart
made of the heart.
If you speak or act with a corrupted heart,
then suffering follows you,
as the wheel of the cart follows
the track of the ox that pulls it.
Phenomena are
preceded by the heart
ruled by the heart
made of the heart.
If you speak or act with a calm, bright heart,
then happiness follows you,
like a shadow that never leaves.
The Dhammapada, Chapter 1
