Do not believe in anything
Simply because you have heard
it.
Do not believe in traditions
Because they have been handed
down for many generations.
Do not believe in anything
Because it is spoken and
rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything
Simply because it is found
written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything
Merely on the authority of your
teachers and elders.
But after observation and
analysis,
When you find that anything
agrees with reason,
And is conducive to the good
and benefit of one and all,
Then accept it and live up to it
