As a single slab of rock won’t budge in the wind, so the wise are not moved by praise, by blame. Like a deep lake, clear, unruffled, & calm: so the wise become clear, calm, on hearing words of the Dhamma. Everywhere, truly, those of integrity stand apart. They, the good, don’t chatter in hopes of favor or gains. When touched now by pleasure, now pain, the wise give no sign of high or low [1].
