Pikiran ini sungguh sukar diawasi dan amat halus, yang mengembara sesuka hatinya. Karena itu hendaklah orang bijaksana menjaganya; pikiran yang dijaga dengan baik akan membawa kebahagiaan.

Pikiran iku sayekti angel diawat-awati lan banget aluse, kang ngumbara sakarepe dewe. Mula saka iku wong wicaksana sayogyane rumeksa pikirane. Pikiran kang rineksa kanthi becik bakal nggawa karahayon.

Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well guarded bring happiness.
