The Twin-Verses ⧸ Verse 2

All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
English translation by Max Müller, from The Sacred Books of the East (1881).
