A questioner asked the Buddha:
"Life seems a tangle--
An inner tangle and an outer tangle.
This generation is hopelessly tangled up.
And so I ask the Buddha this question:
Who will succeed in disentangling this tangle?"
The Buddha replied:
"When a wise one, thoughtful and good,
Develops a greater consciousness,
He will understand the tangle.
As a truth follower, ardent and wise,
He will succeed in disentangling the tangle."
- Samyutta Nikaya
