13: The Chapter about the World – 168<br />

The heedful shine forth<br />

Ven. Sammuñjani spent all his time sweeping the monastery<br />

and never meditated, but Ven. Revata admonished him to<br />

spend some time in meditation, which he did and became an<br />

Arahat; the Buddha confirmed to the monk his attainment and<br />

spoke this verse.<br />

172. Yo ca pubbe pamajjitvā, pacchā so nappamajjati,<br />

sŏ imaṁ lokaṁ pabhāseti abbhā mutto va candimā.<br />

Whoever was heedless before,<br />

but then later is not heedless,<br />

that one shines brightly on this world<br />

like the moon released from a cloud.
