The Mind is Like a Fragrant Flower


"The mind is like a fragrant flower; it emits fragrance whether it is held in the right hand or left, whether the person who holds it is good or bad. It walks blindly along, irrespective of the lin or the land. It is blind, so someone has to take it on tow.


When you invite ten blind people to dinner, you have to lay twenty plates. For each blind person brings with him and, has to so bring with him, a guide who can lead him to your home. So the mind too must have a guide who knows the way, the obstacles, the shoals and ferries."
