Guest guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 72. Do not see ill in others Do not seek to discover or discuss the evil in others, for the attempt will tarnish your own mind. When you are engaged in searching for the faults and the failings of others, you are paving the way for developing those faults and failings in yourself. Dwell on the good in others, and in time, it will prove to be an asset to you. The goodness latent in you shall then be urged to sprout and blossom. When you intend to harm another, the evil recoils on you. The grief which you suffer is only an echo of the grief you inflict in another's heart. So when you have injured another, pray for pardon. Repent and resolve never to do it again. Through genuine prayer, mountains of evil can be pulverized and destroyed. From now on, decide that your words shall be soft and sweet, your acts beneficial to others and your thoughts always about how to serve others who are weaker and less prosperous. Every man should so lead his life that no pain is caused by him to any living being. You must carefully consider the consequences of your speech and action. In whichever way you want others to love and respect you, in the same way you should first love and respect them. Only then will others reciprocate your love and respect. If instead, without loving and respecting others you complain that others are not treating you well, it is a wrong conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
