Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 4.7 — Sambhūta
Ler no Une Sacra1Hurrying when it’s time to dawdle;
dawdling when it’s time to hurry;
being so disorganized
a fool falls into suffering.
2Their good fortune wastes away
like the moon in the waning fortnight.
They become disgraced
and alienated from their friends.
3Dawdling when it’s time to dawdle;
hurrying when it’s time to hurry;
being so well organized,
an astute person comes into happiness.
4Their good fortune flourishes
like the moon in the waxing fortnight.
They become famous and respected,
not alienated from their friends.
