Abandoning the dark way, let the wise man cultivate the bright path. Having gone from home to homelessness, let him yearn for that delight in detachment, so difficult to enjoy. Giving up sensual pleasures, with no attachment, let the wise man cleanse himself of defilements of the mind.

Deep Commentary
The wise purify their minds by looking inward. Enlightenment is not found by chasing external things. Unlike science, which conquers the external world but leaves people with internal afflictions, Buddhism conquers the inner world. The Buddha reached supreme enlightenment through direct realization, destroying all ignorance. We must use suitable methods to gradually cleanse our minds, much like polishing a mirror. Once purified, the mind naturally experiences the profound joy of the Dhamma, which far surpasses any fleeting worldly pleasure.
