"Guarding speech, controlling mind, not doing wrong with the body, a 
man keeps the three avenues to action clear and thus finds the Path 
shown by the Wise. —The Dhammapada

"The above quotation advises the aspirant to keep clear the three 
avenues of speech, mind and body so that the immortal soul of man 
may have proper instruments, proper channels to carry on its 
physical, mental and spiritual work and find the Path shown by the 
Wise. It is the inner Path of wisdom and compassion, of purity and 
peace, of service and sacrifice, of harmony and happiness. It has 
been not only indicated by the Wise but actually trodden by them. 
Thus we can see the need to do the same if we are in earnest."
