Thag 2.14 - Somamitta Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato Source: https://suttacentral.net/thag2.14/en/sujato License: CC0-1.0 Verses of the Senior Monks 2.14 The Book of the Twos Chapter Two Somamitta If you’re lost in the middle of a great sea, and you clamber up on a little log, you’ll sink. So too, a person who lives well sinks by relying on a lazy person. Hence you should avoid such a lazy person who lacks energy. Dwell with the noble ones who are secluded and determined and always energetic; the astute who practice absorption.
