The tangle's inside you....

Daily Buddhist Wisdom
Not by matted hair, by clan, or by birth, is one a brahmin. Whoever has truth & rectitude: he is a pure one, he, a brahmin. What's the use of your matted hair, you dullard? What's the use of your deerskin cloak? The tangle's inside you. You comb the outside.
- Dhammapada, 26, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
