ANNOTATION 100, Self-indulgence and violence have close correspondence. There hardly exists a voluptuous person who could indulge in sensual pleasures without resorting to violence. However, where there is violence, there may or may not be enjoyment. But, self-indulgence is invariably associated with violence. That is why, one of the most valuable sermons in the context of liberation from selfindulgence is that on non-violence.
१०१. एस वोरे पसंसिए, जे ण णिविज्जति आदाणाए। 101. Esa vire pasařsie, je na nivijjati ādāņäe. 101. Praiseworthy is the dauntless one, who does not get
fed up with self-disciplined life.

पडिसेहिओ परिणमिज्जा। 102. Na me deti na kuppijjā, thovaṁ laddhum na khiṁsae.
Padisehio pariņamijjá. 102. (Thinking that) "he is not giving alms to me", (a
monk) should not frown upon a person, nor should he criticise him on not receiving enough. If the owner of the house refuses, he should immediately leave.
ANNOTATION 102, Food is essential for sustaining of life The monk obtains his food from householders. Taking food can become both indulgence and renunciation depending on whether it has been obtained and consumed with feelings of attachment or aversion or without such feelings. The mioni practicising self-discipline or renunciation should not, at the time of obtaining food, behave in an agitated manner.
