The Wilderness
Arañña Sutta (SN 1:10)
Standing to one side, a devatā addressed the Blessed One with a verse:
“Living in the wilderness, staying peaceful, remaining chaste, eating just one meal a day: why are their faces so bright & serene?”
The Buddha:
“They don’t sorrow over the past, don’t long for the future. They survive on the present. That’s why their faces are bright & serene. From longing for the future, from sorrowing over the past, fools wither away like a green reed cut down.”
