A Sword
Satti Sutta (SN 1:21)
As she was standing there, the devatā recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:
“As if struck by a sword, as if his head were on fire, a monk should live the wandering life —mindful— for the abandoning of sensual passion.”
The Buddha:
“As if struck by a sword, as if his head were on fire, a monk should live the wandering life —mindful— for the abandoning of self-identity.”
