give thanks

1. The wise man tells you
   Where you have fallen
   And where you yet may fall - Invaluable secrets!
   Follow him, follow the way.
    
2. Do not look for bad company
   Or live with men who do not care.
   Find friends who love the truth.
   Drink deeply.
   Live in serenity and joy.
    
3. How long the night to the watchman,
   How long the road to the weary traveller,
   How long the wandering of many lives
   To the fool who misses the way.
    
4. If you are happy
   At the expense of another man's happiness,
   You are forever bound.
    
5. Give thanks
   For what had been given to you,
   However little.
   Be pure, never falter.
   You have no name and no form.
   Why miss what you do not have?
   The seeker is not sorry.
    
6. You are the source
   Of all purity and impurity.
