Nanuri

A goodness that does not pick and choose

Chosen from Daoist and Hindu traditions. One line asks for the same attitude toward the good and the not good, and another describes someone who holds no hatred toward anything that lives.

    To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not good (to me), I am also good;—and thus (all) get to be good.

  3. Hinduism

    Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 12 (Edwin Arnold translation)

    Who hateth nought Of all which lives, living himself benign, Compassionate, from arrogance exempt, Exempt from love of self, unchangeable By good or ill; patient, contented, firm In faith, mastering himself, true to his word, Seeking Me, heart and soul; vowed unto Me, That man I love!
