Dhamma Padaya – Paapa Waggaya
A person with a wound in his hand cannot carry a poisonous substance with his hand. The reason is that the poison quickly enters the body through his wounds.
In this way, whatever action the person with Greed-Hatred thoughts takes can cause evil at any moment.
Just as the poison does not harm an unwounded hand,
If a person does not have thoughts of Greed-Hatred and does not have any evil intention, that person’s actions will not cause him evil.
