  Speaker 1: Chapter seventeen. Anger. Let a man leave anger, Let him
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: forsake pride. Let him overcome all bondage. No sufferings befall
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the man who is not attached to name and form,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and who calls nothing his own. He who holds back
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: rising anger like a rolling chariot. Here I call a
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: real driver. Other people are but holding the reins. Let
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a man overcome anger by love, Let him overcome evil
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: by good. Let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: liar by truth, speak the truth. Do not yield to anger.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Give if thou art asked for little, by these three steps,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the wilt go near the gods. The sages, who injure nobody,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: and who always control their body, They will go to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the unchangeable place nirvana, where if they have gone, they
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: will suffer no more. Those who are ever watchful, who
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: study day and night, and who strive after nirvana, their
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: passions will come to an end. This is an old
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: saying o'atulah. This is not only of to day. They
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: blame him who sits silent. They blame him who speaks much.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: They also blame him who says little. There is no
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: one on earth who is not blamed. There never was,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: there never will be, Nor is there now a man
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: who is always blamed, or a man who is always praised.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But he whom those who discriminate praise continually day after day,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: as without blemish, wise, rich in knowledge and virtue, Who
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: would dare to blame him like a coin made of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: gold from the Gombo river. Even the gods praise him.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: He is praised even by Bramin. Beware of bodily anger,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and control thy body. Leave the sins of the body,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and with thy body practice virtue. Beware of the anger
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of the tongue, and control thy tongue. Leave the sins
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of the tongue, and practice virtue with thy tongue. Beware
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of the anger of the mind, and control thy mind.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Leave the sins of the mind, and practice virtue with
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: thy mind. The wise who control their body, who control
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: their tongue. The wise who control their mind, are indeed
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: well controlled. End of Chapter seventeen.
