THE FOUR SETUS |
|
|
Vidura echoes the
same sentiments in the Viduraneeti in the Mahabharata, Udyoga parva, Adhyaya 38, sloka 73.
Anger should be conquered by peacefulness, evil doing should be conquered by santliness,
the mister should be conquered by gifts and falsehood should be conquered by truth. In the
Buddhist Dammapada, the same verse is, found in Pali.
Dharma is not also to be confounded with humanism. Dharma flourishes on the eternal spring
of spirituality. While it has its roots on earth and worldly life, it has its summit on
heaven or moksha. 'As some tall cliff that lifts its awful form, Swells from the vale and
midway leaves the storm Though round its breast the rolling clouds are spread Eternal
sunshine settles on its head.'
