THE WAY OF LIFE
Therefore, enlightened people say that we should not cause sorrow or agitation to others by means of our bodily actions. We should not cause agitation to others. If you do not cause agitation to others, you will be free from agitations. If you do not cause agitation to others and yet if others cause agitation to you, you must realise that you are being punished for some sin of your previous janma. You can react against such treatment but you should not have any evil feelings in your heart.
We have completed the discussion of the seventeenth ordinary principle of the grihasthadharma. You must be cautious to see that you do not cause agitation or distress to others by thought, word or deed.
This is enough for to-day.
