16: The Chapter about Love – 197<br />

When free from loving there is no fear<br />

A layman greatly grieved over the loss of his son; the Buddha<br />

went to him and explained that the wise of old, understanding<br />

the nature of things, did not grieve, and then he spoke this<br />

verse.<br />

212. Piyato jāyatī soko, piyato jāyatī bhayaṁ,<br />

piyato vippamuttassa natthi soko, kuto bhayaṁ?<br />

From loving there arises grief,<br />

from loving there arises fear,<br />

for one who is free from loving<br />

there is no grief, how is there fear?
