If those who are like wanton children
Are by nature prone to injure others,
What point is there in being angry-
Like resenting the fire for its heat?
Santideva: Bodhicaryavatara 6.39 From the book: 365 Buddha, Daily Meditations by Jeff Schmidt
“Just as you have formed the notion ‘I’ regarding others drops of sperm and blood [your parents], you must also develop that notion regarding other people.
- Santideva; Sanskrit, India.
“Whatever calamities there are, and whatever sorrows and fears come to the world, they are all the result of attachment to “self.” Why is that attachment mine?
Not having extinguished “self,” one is not able to extinguish sorrow; just as one who has not extinguished a fire is not able to extinguish the burning.
It follows that for the sake of tranquilizing my own sorrow, and for the tranquilizing of the other’s sorrow, I give myself to others and I accept others like myself.”
— Śāntideva, Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra

“A task is performed for the sake of satisfaction, notwithstanding that there may or may not be satisfaction. But how can one, for whom the task itself is satisfaction, be satisfied without a task?”
—Santidēva ‘The Way of the Bodhisattva’
“Swinging back and forth like this in cyclic existence, now under the sway of errors, now under the sway of Awakening Mind, it takes a long time to gain ground.”
—Śāntideva; The Way of The Bodhisattva
In this stanza, Śāntideva acknowledges his own experience of straying from the path, recognizing that he has periods of enlightened attitude followed by periods in which he regresses into mistakes and bad behaviors. By recognizing this he prepares himself to attempt to be more diligent and attain a higher consistency, so that he may have a chance to benefit beings.
“Between one fool and another something detrimental is inevitable, such as self-advancement, complaining about others, or conversation about the pleasures of cyclic existence.”
- Śāntideva
