Just as the Lord cleared Indrabhuti's doubt, the Lord also clarified Agnibhuti's doubt. As soon as Agnibhuti stepped into the place of sermon, it was as it all his passions and enmity ceased to exist. How the Lord clarified Agnibhuti's doubt shall be seen in the next chapter.
V
OF SELF
To control self is unpalatable like a mouthful of sand and difficult like a walk along the edge of a sword.
Greater will be his victory who conquereth his self than that of one who conquerth thousands in a valiant fight.
Fight with thy self; why fight with foes external? Happy is he who conquereth his self by his self.
Conquer thy self, for difficult it is to conquer self. If self is conquered, ye shall be happy in this world and after.
Better it is that I whould conquer myself by restraint and penance than be restrained by others by fetters and death.
