Think of all the irritations our hearts suffer:
Violently irritated, all wound up and raging;
Smoldering irritation firmly planted in the heart;
Sometimes you don’t even know what it’s about.

Aversion collides and crashes in the heart,
Hateful habits spread into life’s natural flow,
When ones wishes go by unsatisfied,
Annoyance closes down the heart.

Clever thinkers excel at irritation,
Poisoning their own hearts and organs.
Only with mindfulness wisely shaking it off
And sufficient mental power … then it’s simple.
