လမ်းကြောင်းများသည် အညစ်အကြေးကင်းစင်လာ၏; ကောင်းကင်လောကမှ စ၍ သုံးလောကလည်း ပေါ်ထွန်းလာ၏။ မြစ်များသည် မိမိတို့၏ မှန်ကန်သော လမ်းကြောင်းအတိုင်း လှုပ်ရှားတက်ကြွသော်လည်း သမုဒ္ဒရာမူ ထိုသို့ မလှုပ်ရှားမတုန်လှုပ်ခဲ့။

Concept: True order is not the absence of movement but right-measured movement: rivers surge in proper courses while the ocean remains steady—discipline within vitality.
Application: Let emotions ‘flow’ in proper channels (healthy expression) while keeping the deeper self steady; build routines that allow intensity without chaos.

FAQs
It describes an ordered manifestation of the three lokas (often understood as heaven, atmosphere, and earth), implying a structured cosmological unfolding rather than a random creation.
The imagery contrasts dynamic movement within creation (rivers finding and rushing through their courses) with underlying stability (the ocean as the steady, containing principle), suggesting order amid activity.
It implies that the channels or routes of the cosmos became purified/clarified—fit for proper function—so that flow and movement proceed according to right order (yathārtha).
