Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 16. Enemy is also a friend Do not develop much attachment with others and get entangled through the silken bonds of friendship or iron chain of hatred. It is good and helpful to have an enemy, for they are ever eager to criticize you for your faults than a friend who will cast a blind eye on them. The enemy takes delight in abusing you, and as a consequence, he goes on diminishing and wiping off from your account the demerits you have to live out in misery. The person displaying enmity absorbs your sins and effects. Moreover, this person makes you alert not to give him any reason to point a finger of scorn at you. He is your censor, corrector and conscience. Be thankful to him who talks ill of you, for he is doing you very great service by examining your every act on the touchstone of morality, truth and righteousness. Every person is likely to commit mistakes without being aware of it. However bright the fire, black smoke is bound to emanate from it. So also, whatever good deeds a man may perform, there will be mixed with it, a trace of evil. Efforts should be made to minimise the evil so that the good is progressively more.
