Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 When someone insults you or defames you or ignores you, accept it with a smile; this is the way of the world, it is basically ungrateful, ill-mannered, they are doing me a good turn, my strength is on trial. I shall not yield to anger or resentment. Tell yourself such invigorating things, and be quiet, with a smile of triumph on your lips. There was a Sanyasin(monk) once who was roundly abused by a gang of mischievous young men. He said, "Carry on! Enjoy yourselves! I see that you are very happy at the chance. This is exactly what I desire for you." When you do not accept the insult someone casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it first; a registered letter that is not accepted returns to the sender. Do not damage you mental peace by receiving the letter and reading the contents. Refuse to read it. You have a chance of correcting the wrong doers too; accept it and you join the gang of mischief-makers. So be warned! Got a little couch potato? Check out fun summer activities for kids.
