Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Your duty is to cleanse yourself You must be wary of one impurity - intolerance of another's success, prosperity or progress. If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing him harm or causing him pain. That itself is a great service. What rights have you to find fault with another or to talk evil of another? When you say that nothing can ever happen on earth without His will, why get annoyed or angry? Your duty is to cleanse yourself and engage in your own inner purification. That endeavor will bring you the co-operation of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you. " Be fixed in the consciousness that you yourself are the immortal " atma " which is indestructible, which is holy, pure and divine. That will give you unshakable courage and strength. Then, you must develop mutual love and respect. Tolerate all kinds of persons and opinions, all attitudes and peculiarities. The school, the home, the workplace and the society are all the training grounds of tolerance. The relationship with each other must be based on love, not fear. Only the atmosphere of love can guarantee happy co-operation and concord. " Treat everyone as your own people and even if you cannot do them any good, desist from causing them any injury. Burn the lamp of love inside the niche of your heart, and then the nocturnal birds of greed and envy will fly away, unable to bear the light. Prema (Love) makes you humble; it makes you bend and bow when you see greatness and glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
