Be quick in being virtuous, keeping the mind away from malicious thoughts.
Because when slow in developing virtuous intentions the mind starts to delight in maliciousness.

If someone commits a morally corrupt act, they should not repeat it over and over again.
They should not develop a wish to do these things, as reinforcing malicious intents brings pain.
118.
If someone preforms a virtuous act, they should repeat it over and over again.
They should develop a wish to do these things, as reinforcing benevolent intents brings joy.

Those who are morally corrupt see goodness in their acts, as long as the results of a crime have not come back upon them.
When the results of the crime do come back upon them, then the morally bereft see the results of maliciousness.
120.
Those of virtuous intent see harm in their acts, as long as the results of philanthropy have not come back upon them.
When the results of philanthropy do come back upon them, then the virtuous see the results of benevolence.

Whoever disrespects and offends those who are not corrupt and blameless.
Like fine dust thrown against the wind, their moral corruptions fall back upon those ignorant fools.
126.
Some are born human; those who act in morally corrupt ways are born in hell.
The virtuous are born in heaven, yet those who are free from effluents are completely free.

Not in the air, sea, nor within a mountain cave.
Nowhere on earth can be found where they can stay and be free from their malicious intent.
