" Beings suffer injury alike From lifeless things as well as living beings. So why be angry only with the latter? Rather let us simply bear with harm. 67. Some do evil things because of ignorance, Some respond with anger, being ignorant. Which of them is faultless in such acts? To whom shall error be ascribed? 68. Instead, why did they act in times gone by That they are now so harmed at others’ hands? Since everything depends on karma, Why should I be angry at such things? 69. This I see and therefore, come what may, I’ll hold fast to the virtuous path And foster in the hearts of all An attitude of mutual love. "
