In life there are three kinds of people
Whose minds are of differing kinds.
The first kind have a mind like rock,
Their thoughts are carved there,
Unmovable from their life.
They stay angry or sad or frightened
For a long time,
And cannot move on to a better life.
The second kind have a mind like sand,
Their thoughts vary.
Anger and sadness are written there
But they can pass away quickly
Because sand shifts,
And their thoughts change .
The third kind have a mind like water,
Their thoughts cannot be written.
Most pure and undisturbed
Thoughts never can be written there,
They just flow through,
As they are not held on.
Buddha says.
