002. The mind is the forerunner of all things, the mind is their leader, they are created by the mind. If someone speaks or acts with pure thoughts, the happiness caused thereby follows that person, like his shadow that never leaves him.
manopubbangama dhamma manosettha manomaya manasā ce pasannena bhasati va karoti va tato nam sukhamanveti chaya'va anapayini
Everything a person experiences springs from the intentions arising from thoughts. If his intentions are good, then words and deeds will also be good. The result of good intentions, words, and deeds will be happiness. This happiness never leaves the person whose intentions are good. Happiness will always follow him, just like his shadow that never leaves him.
