DhP 35:

Tricky to pin down and swift,
landing wherever it wants;
The taming of the mind is good,
for the tamed mind leads to ease.

DhP 36:

The mind is very subtle and hard to see,
landing wherever it wants;
The wise one should guard the mind,
for a guarded mind leads to ease.

DhP 37:

Wandering far and moving on its own,
immaterial, dwelling in a cave (hiding place);
Those who restrain the mind,
will be freed from Māra’s bonds.
