" He abused me, he attacked me, he defeated me, and he robbed me," Those who harbour such thoughts will never end their hatred.

" He abused me, he attacked me, he defeated me, and he robbed me," Those who do not harbour such thoughts will end their hatred.

Hatred never ends through hatred; by non-hatred alone does it end. This is an eternal law in this world.

494. A monk should not always be occupied doing many duties. A monk should avoid people who gossip and talk unnecessarily. If a monk is greedy and desires nice things, he will miss the goal which brings spiritual happiness. 495. Indeed, wise people consider respect and homage given by others to be a swamp. Attachment to gain and honour is like a fine dart that is hard to remove. An untrue person will never give up gain and honour offered to him.
496. One should not insist others do evil nor should he do it himself. I say that because all beings live with karma as their relative.
497. One is not a thief just because others say one is. One is not a holy man just because others say one is. One knows oneself to the extent that devas know who he is.
498. Foolish people don’t understand that we all will die one day in this world. But since wise people understand this fact, their quarrels cease.
499. Even after the loss of his wealth, the wise man indeed lives. But no matter how much wealth one has, if he hasn’t gained wisdom he is not truly living.
500. Even though a wise person hears all with the ear, sees all with the eye, he doesn’t want to take it in nor reject that which is seen or heard.
501. Therefore, at things that shouldn’t be seen, he is as though blind even though he has eyes. At the things that shouldn’t be heard, he is as though deaf even though he has ears. At things that shouldn’t be known, he is as though foolish even though he is wise. At things that shouldn’t be done, he is as though weak even though he is strong. At things that lead to harm he is as though dead, lying in bed.

The fool hurries when it is time to be patient, and he is patient when it is time to hurry. Having followed the wrong way, he finally comes to pain.
His success declines like the moon in the dark fortnight. He acquires disgrace. His friends act against him.....

The wise one is patient when it is time to be patient, and he hurries when it is time to hurry. Having followed the right way, he finally comes to happiness.
His success increases like the moon in the bright fortnight. He acquires fame. His good friends don't act against him.
