कर्मनिमित्तं सर्वे दुःखितसुखिता भवंति यदि सत्त्वाः । कर्म च न ददासि त्वं कथं त्वं सुखितः कृतस्तैः ॥ २६७ ॥
267. When by the (auxiliary) cause of Karma all living beings become miserable or happy. And thou art not given that Karma (by others). How then art thou made happy by them ?
कम्मोदयेण जीवा दुक्खिद सुहिदा हवंति जदि सव्वे । कम्मं च ण देसि तुमं कह तं दुहिदो कदो तेहिं ॥ २६८ ॥ कर्मोदयेन जीवा दुःखितसुखिता भवंति यदि सर्वे । कर्म च न ददासि त्वं कथं त्वं दुःखितः कृतस्तैः ॥ २६८ ॥

268. When all living beings are miserable (or) happy by the operation of Karma. And thou are not given the Karmas. How (then) art thou made miserable by them ?
Commentary.
From the real view point, whenever any person feels pleasure, it is due to the operation of pleasure-feeling Karmas, and when he suffers pain, it has for its cause the operation of pain-feeling Karmas. If a person wants to give another pleasure or pain, he cannot do so, if there is no operation of merit or demerit Karma's in the other. From a practical point of view, every person must, in dealing with others, try to help them in their difficulties and to make them happy and should not be causing pain to them. This conduct will bind meritorious Karmas for him, whether others may be happy or not. Their happiness mainly depends on their own meritorious Karmas. The thought of causing injury to another will be the cause of binding bad Karmas, whether others may be injured or not. A right believer must therefore remain passionless.
