Where there is charity and wisdom, there is neither fear nor ignorance. Where there is patience and humility, there is neither anger nor vexation. Where there is poverty and joy, there is neither greed nor avarice. Where there is peace and meditation, there is neither anxiety nor doubt.

The saying is structured as a set of parallel antitheses: the cultivation of certain virtues (charity, wisdom, patience, humility, poverty embraced with joy, peace joined to meditation) is presented as expelling corresponding vices or inner disturbances (fear, ignorance, anger, vexation, greed, anxiety, doubt). Its logic is not that problems vanish externally, but that a transformed interior life changes one’s responses: love displaces fear, humility cools anger, voluntary simplicity loosens avarice, and contemplative peace steadies the mind against anxious uncertainty. The cumulative effect is a practical moral psychology: spiritual disciplines are portrayed as remedies that reorder desire and perception.
