Table of Contents
¹ All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.
² All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.
³ He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,
--in those who harbour such thoughts hatred will never cease.
⁴ He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me,
--in those who do not harbour such thoughts hatred will cease.
⁵ For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an old rule.
⁶ The world does not know that we must all come to an end here;--but those who know it, their quarrels cease at once.

¹¹ They who imagine truth in untruth, and see untruth in truth, never arrive at truth, but follow vain desires.
¹² They who know truth in truth, and untruth in untruth, arrive at truth, and follow true desires.
¹³ As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind.
¹⁴ As rain does not break through a well-thatched house, passion will not break through a well-reflecting mind.
¹⁵ The evil-doer mourns in this world, and he mourns in the next; he mourns in both. He mourns and suffers when he sees the evil of his own work.
¹⁶ The virtuous man delights in this world, and he delights in the next; he delights in both. He delights and rejoices, when he sees the purity of his own work.
¹⁷ The
