Abstaining from demerit

Abstaining from demerit:

SAMBUJJHAMAANE U NARE MATEEYAM PAAVAAU APPAAN NIVATTAEJJA

HIMSAPPASOOYAAIM DUHAAIM MATTA VERAANUBANDHEENI MAHABBHAYAANI

An individual, who possesses wisdom and knowledge,
comprehends the painful consequences of violence,
understands the seriousness of violent thoughts and actions;
so he/she keeps away from demerit, undesirable and grievous.

An individual who has attained rational perception and knowledge
understands that violence and other vices cause the influx of
demeritorious karma. He/she realizes the painful consequences of such
karma. So he/she refrains from activities of body, speech and mind
involving violence. It should be pointed out that untruth, stealing
&endash; circumventing the laws, indiscreet pursuit of sensual
pleasures, and possessiveness involve violence of thoughts and
feelings, in the least. So we should avoid all these vices.
