***********************************************
38-39 Wisdom never becomes perfect in one whose mind is not steadfast, who knows not the Good Teaching and whose faith wavers. There is no fear for an awakened one, whose mind is not sodden (by lust) nor afflicted (by hate), and who has gone beyond both merit and demerit.
40 Realizing that this body is as fragile as a clay pot, and fortifying this mind like a well-fortified city, fight out Mara with the sword of wisdom. Then, guarding the conquest, remain unattached.
41 Ere long, alas! this body will lie upon the earth, unheeded and lifeless, like a useless log.
42-43 Whatever harm an enemy may do to an enemy, or a hater to a hater, an ill-directed mind inflicts on oneself a greater harm. Neither mother, father, nor any other relative can do one greater good than one's own well-directed mind.

어느 경에 나오는 지는 물론 모르고 그리고 영어로 들었는데, 좋은 법을 들고 익혀서 실천하지 않으면 "Like a beautiful flower with no fragrance" 라고 들었어요.
법구경에 나와요. 곧 나오겠네요.
