Selected Verses from the Dhammapada
Translated by P. Lal...Chapter: Impurity...page 123-124




No fire like passion,
no jailer like hate,
no snare like delusion,
no torrent like craving.
How easy to see the faults of others-
we winnow them like chafe.
How hard to see one's own!-
We hide them, like cheating at dice.
