Muni Sutta (Sutta Nipata SN1.12)

Danger is born from intimacy,
society gives birth to dust.
Free from intimacy,
free from society:
such is the vision of the sage.

Who, destroying what's born
wouldn't plant again
or nourish what will arise:
They call him the wandering, singular sage.
He has seen the state of peace.

Considering the ground,
crushing the seed,
he wouldn't nourish the sap
— truly a sage —
seer of the ending of birth,
abandoning conjecture,
he cannot be classified.

Knowing all dwellings,
not longing for any one anywhere
— truly a sage —
with no coveting, without greed,
he does not build,
for he has gone beyond.

Overcoming all
knowing all,
wise.
With regard to all things:
unsmeared. Abandoning all,
in the ending of craving,
released:
The enlightened call him a sage.

Strong in discernment,
virtuous in his practices,
centered,
delighting in jhana,
mindful,
freed from attachments,
no constraints :: no fermentations:
The enlightened call him a sage.

The wandering solitary sage,
uncomplacent, unshaken by praise or blame.
Unstartled, like a lion at sounds.
Unsnared, like the wind in a net.
Unsmeared, like a lotus in water.
Leader of others, by others unled:
The enlightened call him a sage.

Like the pillar at a bathing ford,
when others speak in extremes.
He, without passion,
his senses well-centered:
The enlightened call him a sage.

Truly poised, straight as a shuttle,
he loathes evil actions.
Pondering what is on-pitch and off:
The enlightened call him a sage.

Self-restrained, he does no evil.
Young and middle-aged,
the sage self-controlled,
never angered, he angers none:
The enlightened call him a sage.

From the best
the middling
the leftovers
he receives alms.
Sustaining himself on what others give,
neither flattering
nor speaking disparagement:
The enlightened call him a sage.

The wandering sage
abstaining from sex,
in youth bound by no one,
abstaining from intoxication
complacency
totally apart:
The enlightened call him a sage.

Knowing the world,
seeing the highest goal,
crossing the ocean, the flood,
— Such —
his chains broken,
unattached
without fermentation:
The enlightened call him a sage.

These two are different,
they dwell far apart:
the householder supporting a wife
and the unselfish one, of good practices.
Slaying other beings, the householder
is unrestrained.
Constantly the sage protects other beings,
is controlled.

As the crested,
blue-necked peacock,
when flying,
never matches
the wild goose
in speed:
Even so the householder
never keeps up with the monk,
the sage secluded,
doing jhana
in the forest.
