### [71.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.71.67)

不應作而作　應作而不作  
悔惱火所燒　後世墮惡道  
若人罪能悔　悔已莫復憂  
如是心安樂　不應常念著  
若有二種悔　若應作不作  
不應作而作　是則愚人相  
不以心悔故　不作而能作  
諸惡事已作　不能令不作

> Doing what should not be done, / Not doing what should be done; / Burned by the fire of regret and distress, / In future lives one falls into the evil realms. / If a person can repent of offenses, / Having repented, worry no further; / With the mind thus at peace and joy, / One should not constantly harbor attachment. / If there are two kinds of regret— / Either not doing what should be done, / Or doing what should not be done— / These are the marks of a foolish person. / It is not by mental regret / That what was not done can be done; / When various evil deeds have already been done, / One cannot make them undone.
