Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts.

正如园丁耕耘土地、清除杂草、种植所需的花果，人也可以照料心灵的花园，除去错误、无益和不纯的思想，让正确、有益、纯净的思想开花结果，日趋完善。
