Less Ground for Liberation

Beware of one,
who is slow to apologise,
for one might believe in pride, that under the power of Mara,
more than in karma, that aligned with goodness and truth.

With less faith in moral consequences (karma),
there is less ground for shamefulness and repentance,
there is less ground for virtue (morality),
which leads to less ground for mental development (concentration),
which leads to less ground for wisdom to grow,
which leads to less ground for liberation.
