(5:4.2)

Pain and sorrow follow in the path of evil as the dust follows the wind.

Happiness and peace of mind follow pure thinking and virtuous living as the shadow follows the substance of material things.

Evil is the fruit of wrongly directed thinking.

It is evil to see sin where there is no sin; to see no sin where there is sin.

Evil is the path of false doctrines.

Those who avoid evil by seeing things as they are gain joy by thus embracing the truth.

Make an end of your misery by loathing sin.
