Religious Thought 160



Those who live in accordance with these divine laws without complaining, firmly established in faith, are released from karma. Those who violate these laws, criticizing and complaining, are utterly deluded, and are the cause of their own suffering.
- Bhagavad Gita 3:31-32

The good shine from afar Like the snowy Himalayas. The bad don't appear Even when near, Like arrows shot into the night.
- Dhammapada 21, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

I asked my wife, 'Do you know him?'
'Yes,' she sighed, 'He's my old boyfriend.
