Thag 3.5 PTS: Thag 231-233- Matangaputta
It's too cold, too hot, too late in the evening — people who say this, shirking their work: the moment passes them by. Whoever regards cold & heat as no more than grass, doing his manly duties, won't fall away from ease. With my chest I push through wild grasses — spear-grass, ribbon-grass, rushes — <p style="text-align:center;">cultivating <p style="text-align:center;">a seclusion heart.
