The Mahabharata - pg. 59

They met Bhagavan Vyasa on the way. All of them bowed before him and received encouragement and wise counsel from him. When Kunti told him of the sorrows that had befallen on them. Vyasa intoned: "No good man is good enough to live in virtue at all times, nor is any sinner bad enough to exist in one welter of sin. Life is a tangled web and there is no one in the world who has not done both good and evil. Each and everyone has to bear the consequences of his actions. Do not give way to sorrow." Then they put on the garb of Brahmanas, as advised by Vyasa, went to the city of Ekachakra and stayed there in a Brahmana's house, waiting for better days.
