Verse 4. Overcoming Anger


Who bears within no enmity:
"He has abused and beaten me,
defeated me and plundered me",
hate is quite allayed for them.

Explanation: Living in human society, people often quarrel with one another. When such conflicts occur, people often keep thinking about the wrongs done to them by others. When that happens, their anger tends to grow. But in those who forgive and forget the wrongs done to them, anger quickly vanishes. They are then at peace.

"Ia menghina saya, ia memukul saya,
ia mengalahkan saya, ia merampas milik saya."
Jika seseorang sudah tidak lagi menyimpan
pikiran-pikiran seperti itu,
maka kebencian akan berakhir.
