tasmāt tiṣṭhāmi kāṣṭhavat

The following are few Sanskrit verses I like very much from fifth chapter of Bodhicaryāvatāra. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
Scroll down for translation.

anunītaṃ pratihataṃ
yadā paśyet svakaṃ manaḥ /
na kartavyaṃ na vaktavyaṃ
sthātavyaṃ kāṣṭhavat tadā // Bca_5.48 //

uddhataṃ sopahāsaṃ vā
yadā mānamadānvitam /
sotprāsātiśayaṃ vakraṃ
vañcakaṃ ca mano bhavet // Bca_5.49 //

yadātmotkarṣaṇābhāsaṃ
parapaṃsanameva vā /
sādhikṣepaṃ sasaṃrambhaṃ
sthātavyaṃ kāṣṭhavattadā // Bca_5.50 //

lābhasatkārakīrtyarthi
parivārārthi vā punaḥ /
upasthānārthi me cittaṃ
tasmāt tiṣṭhāmi kāṣṭhavat // Bca_5.51 //

parārtharūkṣaṃ svārthārthi
pariṣatkāmam eva vā /
vaktumicchati me cittaṃ
tasmāt tiṣṭhāmi kāṣṭhavat // Bca_5.52 //

asahiṣṇvalasaṃ bhītaṃ
pragalbhaṃ mukharaṃ tathā /
svapakṣābhiniviṣṭaṃ ca
tasmāt tiṣṭhāmi kāṣṭhavat // Bca_5.53 //


48. When(yadā) ones perceive(paśyet) his own(svaka-) mind (manas-) [as] attracted(anunīta-) [to something] or repulsed(pratihata-) [by something], then (tadā) he should do nothing(na kartavya-) and say nothing (na vaktavya-) but he should stay(sthatavya-) like a [piece] of wood (kāṣṭhavat-).

49-50. When the mind can be (bhavet) overexcited (uddhata-) or (vā) sarcastic (sopahāsa-), attached (anvita-) to arogance (māna-) and passion (mada-), ironica l(sa-utprāsa-), superior (ati-śaya-), hostile (vakra-) and (ca) deceiving (vañcaka-)
when self praising (ātmotkarṣaṇābhāsa-) or even disgracing another (parapaṃsana-), when taunting (sādhikṣepa-) or vehement (sasaṃrambha-), then I am to stand like a piece of wood.

51. My mind (me cittaṃ) desires fame (kīrti-), profit (lābha-) and honors (satkāra-) or servants (parivāra-) or worship (upasthāna-). Because of that (tasmāt-) I will stand(tiṣṭhāmi) like a piece of wood(kāṣṭhavat).

52. My mind (citta-) wants (icchati) to speak (vaktum) or is indifferent to (rūkṣa-) interest of another (parārtha-), desiring personal advantage (svārtha-) or even wishing followers/company (pariṣat-).
Because of that I will stand like a piece of wood.

53. [When my mind is] intolerant (asahiṣnu), lazy (alasa-), timid (bhīta-), arrogant (pra-galbha-) and having bad language (mukhara-) and entirely devoted (abhiniviṣṭa-) to own party/side (sva-pakṣa-).
Then, because of that, I will stand like a piece of wood.

Note. This is not an individual effort. Manny times along the way I needed and received the help of two friends, Peter and Daniel. Thanks dudes!
