If like a broken gong
never you reverberate,
quarrelling’s not part of you,
that Nibbana’s reached.
Explanation: When an individual is tranquil and silent like a flattened out metal pot, it is as if he has already attained Nibbana. Such a person does not engage in vain talk. Even when it is struck, the flattened out metal pot cannot make a sound in return.
