set yourself free

1. In this world Hate
   never yet dispelled hate.
   Only love dispels hate.
   This is the law,
   Ancient and inexhaustible.
    
2. Look not for recognition
   But follow the awakened
   And set yourself free.
    
3. Let go of anger.
   Let go of pride.
   When you are bound by nothing
   You go beyond sorrow.
    
4. Beware of the anger of the mouth.
   Master your words.
   Let them serve truth.
    
5. Do what you have to do
   Resolutely, with all your heart.
   The traveller who hesitates
   Only raises dust on the road.
    
6. If the traveller can find
   A virtuous and wise companion
   Let him go with him joyfully
   And overcome the dangers of the way.
