If you really believe a thing, you do the thing. You not only just say you believe. There is the Confucian saying that to know and not to do is in fact not to know. A number of people say they know---they know this and they know that and they want this and they want that. They don't really know. See, if a person really knew that what goes around comes around they wouldn't commit evil acts. If they knew it, they say it, they intellectually have embraced it--but to know it means you know it in your bones, you know it. The marrow of your bones is imprinted with that knowledge. You can't do otherwise, when you know it. So Peace Pilgrim knew it and so she did it.
