In Whose Sole Sway

What is it that whereby the world is led?
What is it that whereby 'tis being dragged?
And what is it that in whose sole sway
One and all have come to stay?

By mind is it that the world is led.
By mind is it that the world is dragged
And by mind is it in whose sole sway
One and all have come to stay.

from Samyutta Nikaya by John D. Ireland
