A verse shared with you

Dhammapada · 15.3

Susukhaṃ vata jīvāma, ussukesu anussukā;Ussukesu manussesu, viharāma anussukā.

Susukham vata jivama, ussukesu anussuka; Ussukesu manussesu, viharama anussuka.

Happily indeed we live, free from anxiety among the anxious. Among anxious people we dwell free from anxiety.

— Dhammapada 15.3
