Classic Poem

Brother, only if thy soul is spotless, thy body will be spotless too: by no other means can evil be done away.

If thy soul is as charcoal, thy body will be black: try a million shifts the evil will not yield.
If the soul is poison, the body is a snake, Do what thou wilt, still the venom sticks.

If the soul is foul, the body is not bright: many toiled in vain but the evil remained.
With a spotless soul, the body is spotless — This truth, O Dadu, let all receive.
