Dhammapada Verses 33 & 34: Straighten The Mind, Like A Fish In Water

Verse 33 Just as a fletcher straightens an arrow shaft, even so the discerning man straightens his mind—so fickle and unsteady, so difficult to guard.Verse 34 As a fish when pulled out of water and cast on land throbs and quivers, even so is this mind agitated. Hence should one abandon the realm of Mara.
