[531] Compassion is always far from perfection
\nif one is always reluctant to keep animals
\nfar from the mouth for every single meal.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[532] If you are not living
\nin the here and now,
\nyou are lost in
\nanother space and time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[533]\u00a0As long as you mistaken learning,
\nthinking and speaking about something
\nas somewhat actualising it,
\nyou will never truly accomplish it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[534] Not being attached to one’s suffering
\nby realisation of its unsubstantiality
\nto liberate oneself is wisdom.<\/p>\n

Not being attached to one’s liberation
\nby realisation of its ungraspability
\nto liberate others is compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[535] No one really mindfully wants to become an alcoholic
\nbut one needs to not want to remain one
\nwhen one has nevertheless unmindfully become one.<\/p>\n

Alcoholism often indirectly arises \u000b
\nfrom ‘innocent’ social-drinking initially,
\nwhich is why abstaining from the very first drop is the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[536] The most dangerous drinkers
\nare not those who do not know how to drink,
\nbut those who assume they can drink much,
\nwhile not knowing when the next drop
\nhappens to be one drop too many.<\/p>\n

The safest are the non-drinkers
\nwho do not wish to learn how to drink,
\nand do not assume they can drink even a little,
\nwhile seeing the first drop
\nto already be one drop too many.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[537] Fame not directly used
\nto influence more to do good
\nis fame underused.<\/p>\n

Fame indirectly used
\nto influence more to do evil
\nis fame misused.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[538] There must be something very wrong
\nif I have much to repent,
\nas it means I am thoroughly unenlightened,
\nwith many misgivings recognised.
\n
\nThere must be something more wrong
\nif I have ‘nothing’ to repent,
\nas it means I am thoroughly unenlightened
\nof many misgivings unrecognised.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[539] If you have a worthy goal,
\nall that is needed
\nis diligent skilful means to reach it.<\/p>\n

If you have become disheartened,
\nall that is needed
\nis to remember it is a worthy goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

[540] Doing the needless
\nis often
\ndoing the harmful.<\/p>\n
