"Give up Affection and Convert Malice into Love"

While enduring the injustice being done to us, if we forgive the person doing injustice, the hatred towards him gradually changes to compassion. If we beg pardon from the victim of our own unjust behavior, and accept the penalty for our mistakes, the attachment to our own egoistic self gets converted to magnanimity and detachment.

When the feelings of affection or possessiveness and jealousy or malice are converted to detachment and compassion, real freedom from all bondages naturally follows. Or we may say, the unity with eternity and detachment from worldly matters, develop spontaneously. This is the only divine bliss.
