A description of the experience
Tirrukural, the - Book 1 Not Hurting Others
311. The pure in heart will never hurt others
Even for wealth and renown
312. The code of the Pure in heart
Is not to return hurt for angry hurt.
313. Vengeance even against a wanton insult
Does endless damage.
314. Punish an evil-doer by shaming him
With a good deed, and forget.
315. What good is that sense which does not feel and prevent
All creatures' woes as its own?
316. Do not do to others what you know
Has hurt yourself.
317. It is best to refrain from wilfully hurting
Anyone, anytime, anyway.
318. Why does one hurt others
Knowing what it is to be hurt?
319. The hurt you cause in the forenoon self-propelled
Will overtake you in the afternoon.
320. Hurt comes to the hurtful; hence it is
That those don't hurt who do not want to be hurt.
