| 22. (The deva
said:)
"He who does not come into contact with (i.e., does not
commit) volitional action does not also come into contact with (i.e.. is also
not affected by) the resultant thereof.
Further, he who comes
into contact with volitional actions also comes into contact with the resultant
thereof.
That being so, one who
comes into contact with the volitional action of doing wrong to another that
should not be wronged against comes into contact with the resultant
thereof."
(The Bhagava said:)
If one wrongs a person who should not be wronged, who is pure
and is free from defilements, i.e., an arahat, the evil falls back upon that
fool like fine dust thrown against the wind."
End of the Phusati Sutta,
the second in this vagga.
