The untrained mind, Bhikkhus, brings great loss.

Bhikkhus, I see no other single state inducing so much evil, as the sneaky and deceiving mind! The dishonest mind, Bhikkhus, brings great misery..
Bhikkhus, I see no other single state inducing so much good, as the open and straight mind! The open, straight and honest mind, Bhikkhus, brings great benefit.
