1.44

"Someone asked, 'Who has robbed you?' He replied, 'I do not fear thieves of wealth; I do not amass wealth to seek mundane gain—what thief of wealth could rob me? I have gathered the wholesome roots, the treasures of all dharmas, but the thieves of vitarka and vicāra have come and destroyed my benefits. Thieves of wealth can be avoided, for there are many hiding places, but when the thieves who rob goodness arrive, there is nowhere to hide.' In such various ways one rebukes malice; in such various ways correct contemplation eliminates thoughts of malice."
