Psalm 34:15

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate us! among men who hate us let us dwell free from hatred!

One who does not frighten anyone, and who is not afraid of anyone else - says Nanak, listen, mind: call him spiritually wise.

The enlightened and liberated monk should control himself, whether he be in a village or a town, and he should preach to all the road of peace; Gautama, &c.

He through whom the world is not agitated, and who is not agitated by the world, who is free from joy and anger and fear and agitation, he too is dear to me.

The Master said, "The student of virtue has no contentions. If it be said he cannot avoid them, shall this be in archery? But he bows complaisantly to his competitors; thus he ascends the hall, descends, and exacts the forfeit of drinking. In his contention, he is still the Chun-tsze."

There is no guilt greater than to sanction ambition; no calamity greater than to be discontented with one's lot; no fault greater than the wish to be getting. Therefore the sufficiency of contentment is an enduring and unchanging sufficiency.
