Pride, if renounced, makes one agreeable, anger, if renounced brings no regret; desire, if renounced will make one rich; Avarice, if renounced brings happiness. True tranquility is of the heart. Mercy may be defined as wishing happiness to all creatures. Ignorance is not knowing one's duties wickednes consists in speaking ill of others..
Path is what great one have trod when one looks for it one will not find it by study of scriptures or arguments, which are contradictory and conflicting..
The charity is done in one's lifetime..
- from the story Hundred Questions. From Mahabrata. Translated by R.N. Narayan
