Virtue and Sin

 

33    Doing good to others is virtue (dharma); injuring other is sin (adharma). Strength
and courage are virtue; weakness and cowardice are sin.
Independence is virtue;
dependence is sin. Loving others is virtue; hating others is sin. Faith in God and
in one’s own Self is virtue; doubt is sin. Knowledge of oneness is virtue; seeing
diversity is sin. The different scriptures only show the means of attaining virtue.
