By actions men are placed in different situations of life; consequences of action are inevitable, from ignorance people desire for the liberation from action. A man does not even attain prosperity in this world by virtue, gentleness, forgiveness, straight-forwardness and fear of censure.
कर्मभिश्चिन्तितो लोको गत्यां गत्यां पृथग्विधः। तस्मात् कर्माणि नित्यानि लोभान्मोक्षं यियासति॥ नेहधर्मानृशंस्याभ्यां च क्षान्त्या नार्जवेन च। पुरुषः श्रियमाप्नोति न घृणित्वेन कर्हिचित्॥
