Make an island unto yourself.
Strive quickly; become wise.
Purged of stain and passionless,
you shall enter the heavenly stage of the Ariyas.(DHAMMAPADA 236)

But he who has
this (feeling) fully cut off,
uprooted and destroyed,
gains peace by day and by night. ( 250)

There is no fire like lust,
no grip like hate,
no net like delusion,
no river like craving. ( 251)

He who sees others' faults, and is ever irritable, the corruptions of such a one grow.

He is far from the destruction of corruptions. (253)
