  Chapter seventeen. Anger. Let a man leave anger, Let him forsake pride.
• 0:09
  Let him overcome all bondage. No sufferings befall the man who is not
• 0:15
  attached to name and form, and who calls nothing his own. He who
• 0:23
  holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot. Here I call a real driver.
• 0:30
  Other people are but holding the reins. Let a man overcome anger by
• 0:38
  love, Let him overcome evil by good. Let him overcome the greedy by
• 0:44
  liberality, the liar by truth, speak the truth. Do not yield to
• 0:52
  anger. Give if thou art asked for little, by these three steps,
• 0:59
  the wilt go near the gods. The sages, who injure nobody, and
• 1:07
  who always control their body, They will go to the unchangeable place nirvana,
• 1:15
  where if they have gone, they will suffer no more. Those who are
• 1:22
  ever watchful, who study day and night, and who strive after nirvana,
• 1:29
  their passions will come to an end. This is an old saying o'atulah.
• 1:38
  This is not only of to day. They blame him who sits silent.
• 1:44
  They blame him who speaks much. They also blame him who says little.
• 1:52
  There is no one on earth who is not blamed. There never was,
• 1:57
  there never will be, Nor is there now a man who is always blamed,
• 2:05
  or a man who is always praised. But he whom those who discriminate
• 2:12
  praise continually day after day, as without blemish, wise, rich in knowledge
• 2:20
  and virtue, Who would dare to blame him like a coin made of gold
• 2:25
  from the Gombo river. Even the gods praise him. He is praised even
• 2:32
  by Bramin. Beware of bodily anger, and control thy body. Leave the
• 2:42
  sins of the body, and with thy body practice virtue. Beware of the
• 2:49
  anger of the tongue, and control thy tongue. Leave the sins of the
• 2:54
  tongue, and practice virtue with thy tongue. Beware of the anger of the
• 3:01
  mind, and control thy mind. Leave the sins of the mind, and
• 3:08
  practice virtue with thy mind. The wise who control their body, who control
• 3:16
  their tongue. The wise who control their mind, are indeed well controlled.
• 3:25
