I would be like someone confused by a mantra spell,
No different than if I had lost my mind.
I do not even know what has confused me so.
It is as if something is lurking within.
{4.28}
Enemies such as anger and craving
Are without arms, legs, nor anything else, and
Are neither courageous nor clever -
Yet they have somehow enslaved me?
{4.29}
Whilst dwelling within my own mind,
They harm me at their pleasure.
To not be angry at them, but patiently accept them
Is inappropriate and such patience is contemptable.
