न तत्परस्य संदध्यात्प्रतिकूलं यदात्मनः । संग्रहेणैष धर्मः स्यात्कामादन्यः प्रवर्तते॥५-३९-५७॥
Do not impose upon another what is adverse to yourself. In sum, this is dharma; its opposite arises from desire.

Overcome anger through non-anger; overcome the unvirtuous through virtue; overcome miserliness through giving; and overcome falsehood through truth.
