You are indeed the eldest, son of the eldest wife, my son; do not be hostile toward the Pandavas; for the one who hates takes misfortune upon himself, just as death itself. How would one like you, O bull of the Bharatas, hate Yudhishthira — guileless, one with you in purpose, equally friendly, hostile to none? Equal to him in birth and valor, why then, out of delusion, O king, my son, do you desire your brother's fortune? Do not be so; be at peace — that is good for you.

Dhritarashtra utters a profound truth: 'the one who hates takes on misfortune, just like death.' It is significant that the harm of hatred falls first upon the hater himself: enmity poisons not so much the enemy as one's own heart. The verse teaches that hatred is a slow suicide — it plants death in the soul before any outward calamity arrives. And it is futile to hate Yudhishthira, who is 'hostile to none': enmity toward the guileless is doubly mad, for it cannot even find justification in injury. Whoever makes an enemy of one who is not his enemy wars against his own peace; and envious hatred of the good is a noose the envious man casts upon himself.
