Dhammapada · 6.12

Kaṇhaṃ dhammaṃ vippahāya, sukkaṃ bhāvetha paṇḍito;Okā anokamāgamma, viveke yattha dūramaṃ.

Kanham dhammam vippahaya, sukkam bhavetha pandito; Oka anokamagamma, viveke yattha duramam.

The wise should abandon the dark state and cultivate the bright. Leaving home for the homeless life, they should find delight in the seclusion where ordinary minds find no joy.
