22. With Khema

Standing to one side, the god Khema recited these verses in the Buddha’s presence:

“Foolish and unintelligent people
treat themselves like an enemy.
They do bad deeds
with bitter fruit.

It’s not good to do a deed
after doing which you’re tormented by regrets;
you experience the result
weeping, with a tearful face.

It’s good to do a deed
after doing which you’re free of regrets;
you experience the result
joyful, with a happy mind.”

“As a precaution, you should do
what you know is for your own welfare.
A thinker, a sage would not proceed
thinking like the cart driver.

Suppose a cart driver leaves the highway,
so even and well compacted.
They enter upon a rough road,
and fret when their axle breaks.

So too, an idiot departs the good
to follow what’s against the good.
Fallen in the jaws of death,
they fret like their axle’s broken.”
