- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [51.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.51.65)

善惡自相違　明闇不同止  
聖人愍迷徒　乘機入生死  
慕德祛囂煩　懲心見真理  
擇交惡自終　出苦方有始

> Good and evil naturally oppose each other;  
> Light and darkness do not dwell together.  
> The Sage pities the bewildered flock,  
> Taking the opportune moment to enter saṃsāra.  
> Admiring virtue dispels clamour and vexation;  
> Restraining the mind reveals the true reality.  
> Selecting companions, evil naturally ends;  
> Escaping suffering only then begins.
