Chapter 16: Possession of Forbearance Kural 151 Just as the Earth bears those who dig into her, it is best to bear with those who despise us. Kural 152 It is always good to endure injuries done to you, but to forget them is even better. Kural 153 It is impoverished poverty to be inhospitable to guests. It is stalwart strength to be patient with fools. Kural 154 Desiring that greatness should never cease, let one's conduct foster forbearance. Kural 155 Worthless are those who injure others vengefully, while those who stoically endure are like stored gold. Kural 156 The joy of the vengeful lasts only for a day, but the glory of the forbearing lasts until the end of time. Kural 157 Though unjustly aggrieved, it is best to suffer the suffering and refrain from unrighteous retaliation. Kural 158 Let a man conquer by forbearance those who in their arrogance have wronged him. Kural 159 Those who patiently endure rude remarks possess the rare purity of an ascetic. Kural 160 Great are those who suffer fasting's hardships; yet they are surpassed by those who suffer hard words. • Email to a friend • Click for details on Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami's next mission.
