Chapter 74: Non-anger, Forbearance, and the Ethics of Residence

Devanagari script

योडन्यथा सन्‍्तमात्मानमन्यथा प्रतिपद्यते । कि तेन न कृतं पापं चौरेणात्मापहारिणा,“(आपका स्वरूप तो कुछ और है” परंतु आप बन कुछ और रहे हैं।। जो अपने असली स्वरूपको छिपाकर अपनेको कुछ-का-कुछ दिखाता है, अपने आत्माका अपहरण करनेवाले उस चोरने कौन-सा पाप नहीं किया?

Translation

Tua verdadeira natureza é uma, mas tu te apresentas como outra. Que pecado deixou de cometer esse ladrão que rouba a si mesmo—aquele que oculta o próprio ser e se mostra como algo diferente?
