And what are the times, what are the circumstances one should do good even if this person having bad tendencies or one suspects he has?
- When ever one arrives
- When one departs
- When lacking of food
- When sick
- When performing actions which are praised and charming for the wise
And who could do good to a person having bad tendencies, is of use for "bad" to get purified?
One who has reached the homeless state may be of use, can give possibilities for purification. Can purify of what a "bad" person may give. Can purify with his compassionate acts, if the "bad" is able to receive his gifts. No matter if the one having reached homeless state might be the teacher or the student, the giver or receiver in certain relations and acts.
And what is a useless association, a waste of merits and time, when people, still having bad tendencies, having not reached the beggar state, housholder, entertain each other for becoming and resisting in Samsara. What ever gifts and sacrifies are made, what ever received is of low value, does neither purify on one or both sides and when trading with the Gems, with things of high value, for their entertainments, for entertainings sake, then one can be sure that this is an association headed downward, one of the many highways to hell.
Is this understood? Is this penetrated? Are there doubts, further questions, Deva
gus ?
Also in asking further, releasing doubt, getting clear and satified with what is conductive, be quick! Connections are not for sure and even the secure shore of the Domain of the Noble Ones not reached yet!
Be quick in leaving home, even for temporary times! Be firm in desiring for it and void householders domains as long as no proper distance like the shining moon can be maintained or has become naturally!
The moon is there as long as this world had not broken appart, be quick in searching for it and learn to trace him even when cloud are present, even if new moon is present. Be quick in learning how to trace his becoming and fading within your current ārammaṇa till you star to shine in distance for your self, weather traced, seen or rememdered by other living in outer lands, having drifted away.
Be quick in this regard no matter is you think that you are good or bad!
This is a field for merits, not for lazy, a camp to work and practice concentration. Be quick before the fields of merits may be gone for long long time.
