In verse 66, Shantideva reflects that since, so far as the factors that are involved in causing harm and injury are concerned, as pointed out earlier, there are both animate and inanimate objects. However, why is it that we specifically single out animate objects and hold them accountable or bear malice toward them?
(67) Should one person ignorantly do wrong
And another ignorantly become angry (with him)
Who would be at fault?
And who would be without fault?
Here, he shows a symmetry of the two sides. If someone does harm to one or to one’s friends, then that person is doing so principally out of ignorance of the consequences of his or her act. Then if one were to lose one’s temper and be angry toward that person, again one would be developing anger out of ignorance. So there is a kind of symmetry between the two acts, and if that is the case, who would be at fault? Who is in the right and who is in the wrong? Both the person who is causing the harm and the person who is being angry are in the same category.
(68) Why did I previously commit those actions
Because of which others now cause me harm?
Since everything is related to my actions
Why should I bear malice toward these (enemies)?
