Chapter Nine -- Evil
Hasten to do
good
and restrain your
mind from
evil
. One who is slow in doing good,
one's mind delights in evil.
Should a person
commit evil
, let one
not do it again and again. Let one not find pleasure
therein, for painful is the accumulation of evil.
Should a person do good, let one do
it again and again. Let one find pleasure therein,
for blissful is the accumulation of good.
It may be well with the
evil-doer
as long
as the evil ripens not, but when it does ripen, then
the evil doer sees (the painful results of) one's evil deeds.
It may be
ill
with the
doer of good
as long
as the good ripens not, but when it does ripen
then the doer of good sees (the pleasant results of)
one's good deeds.
Think not lightly of evil
, saying, "It
will not come to me." Drop by drop is the water
pot filled; likewise, the fool, gathering it little by
little, fills oneself with evil.
Think not lightly of good, saying, "It
will not come to me." Drop by drop is the water
pot filled; likewise, the wise person, gathering it
little by little, fills oneself with good.
Just as a trader with a small
escort
and
great wealth would
avoid a perilous route
, or
just as one desiring to live avoids poison, even
so should one
shun evil
.
If on the one hand there is no wound, one
may even carry poison in it. Poison does not
affect one who is free from wounds, and
for one
who does no evil, there is no ill
.
Like fine dust thrown against the wind,
evil falls back upon that fool who offends an
inoffensive
,
pure
and
guiltless
person.
Some are born in the womb; the
wicked
are born in hell; the
devout
go to
heaven
; the
stainless
pass into
Nibbana
.
Neither in the sky nor in mid-ocean,
nor by entering into mountain
cleft
s, nowhere
in the world is there a place where one may escape
from the results of evil deeds.
