The wise submit to conditions when they are helpless, bowing to the will of God, but the evil that is avoidable they root out without sparing one single moment or effort.

Wise control of breath keeps the mind from lingering upon destructive thought. All destruction in the world is not evil, for sometimes it is necessary for the sake of all humankind or for the sake of earth itself. That is why there may be floods and droughts and even famine and pestilence. These universal conditions are the results of universal corruption.
But when the wise are called upon to oppose evil they do this immediately with all heart and mind, calling forth the power of God to work righteousness.
