Abhanga 378Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 378

THERE is knowledge of Brahma in every house, but much adulterated; if there be any who has a particle of it pure, bestow it upon me, feeble wretch that I am ! If desire and fond hope be mingled with it, there results pride visible afar. Lust and rage are a grievous affliction; when they enter into us, they are poison. Tuka says, We gain nothing in this way; our life is sold and wasted.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
