The Mind

You need not seek protection from the heat of the day;
But if you seek protection from the distress of thinking of the heat,
    Your body will always sit on a platform both refreshing and cool.
You may not be able to drive away a devastating poverty;
But if you drive away the unhappiness of being in such a state,
    Your mind will always reside in a house of pleasure and peace.
