TRANSLATION
A person who desires liberation from this material world should not fall
under the control of anger because when bewildered by anger one becomes
a source of dread for all others.
PURPORT
A devotee or saintly person should not be dreadful to others, nor should
anyone be a source of dread to him. If one treats others with non-enmity,
then no one will become his enemy. There is the example, however, of
Jesus Christ, who had enemies, and they crucified him. The demonic are
always present, and they find fault even in saintly persons. But a saintly
person never becomes angry, even if there is very great provocation.
