It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways.

Let a man avoid evil deeds as a man who loves life avoids poison

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Keeping away from all evil deeds, cultivation of life by doing good deeds and purification of mind from mental impurities.

If a man's mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure

The man of noble mind seeks to achieve the good in others and not their evil. The little-minded man is the reverse of this.
