Continual self refinement needs us to suppress unwanted urges while simultaneously cultivating divine virtues. Anger, hatred, pride, greed, cruelty, and despair etc are just a few amongst the negative emotional urges. All of them should be uprooted slowly and steadily. One of the ways of getting rid of them is to develop the opposite tendencies in the form of patience, love, affection, encouragement, humility, compassion, and truthfulness etc. As we continue to develop these positive attributes, the unwanted patterns and impressions will
disappear on their own. Love one and all. Your enemies will disappear and your circle of friend will get bigger. Similarly, practicing patience, humility, and compassion will slowly and naturally eradicate all unwanted patterns and feelings.
