## Fourth Uddeshak [105]
**The place should also be understood as the path here.** This atonement arises when an instrument is placed on the path due to lack of discretion or curiosity.
Placing an instrument on the path carelessly while sitting in front of the Acharya, etc., while showing food or doing other work, is called placing it with discretion.
If it is placed due to other worldly thoughts, the atonement of Guru Chaumasi arises.
**Atonement for creating new strife**
36. **The monk who creates new strife or approves of the one who creates it.** (He incurs the atonement of Laghu-Masik.)
**Discussion:** Strife arises from natural argumentativeness or pointless speech. Strife can also arise from humor or curiosity. Therefore, the monk should be discreet.
In the Suyagadaang Sutra 02, 02, Ga. 19, while teaching, it is said:
"**Ahigaran kadasa bhikkhuno, vayamanassa pasajja darunam. Parihai bahu, ahigaranam na karejja pandie.**"
**Causing strife leads to great loss of restraint, while speaking harsh words increases harmony and peace among people. Therefore, the monk should always stay away from strife and the causes of its origin.**
**Atonement for stirring up settled strife**
37. **The monk who rekindles old strife that has been settled through apology or approves of the one who does so.** (He incurs the atonement of Laghu-Masik.)
**Discussion:**
1. **Khamiy:** "Khamiy - Vayae" - Apologizing with proper words.
2. **Viosmiy:** "Manasa Viosmiyavyutrushtam" - Churni. To remove strife from the mind, to abandon it, to settle it.
**One should be fully discreet towards the person or the occasion that caused or could cause strife. One should try to keep one's nature calm as much as possible. Otherwise, one should stay away from those topics or occasions. Even with discretion, if there is a possibility of strife, one should stay away from that person's contact. One should understand the effect of one's karma-udaya and the nature or the arising of the particular person, and act with discretion accordingly.**
