Do not
argue with others if you find their thoughts conflicting with or going
against yours. There are countless number of people living on our planet
having diverse views, ideas, beliefs, ways of thinking and outlooks.
There is every possibility that any of these viewpoints could be right.
Therefore, you should learn not to disregard others’ opinion, be a
sympathetic listener and respect their views. Get rid of any egocentric
self-opinionated attitude you might have and expand the horizons of your
vision. Be open-minded and, be willing to listen to and consider
others’ views. Then only your life would become extremely fruitful and
really helpful to others.
Talk gently, humbly, amicably,
pleasingly and moderately. Give up any unworthy ideas and strong
feelings. Get rid of any traces of arrogance or grumpiness. Try not to
attach any importance to yourself. The task of serving humanity expects
an individual to become totally devoted to the cause, with other people
being at the forefront of his/her consideration.
If you do possess all the the
aforesaid characteristics, you are indeed a leading light and a boon to
the world. You are like a celestial fragrant flower whose fragrance will
disperse far and wide (i.e. inspire others). If you do succeed in
accomplishing this much, you can safely assume that you are on your way
to reach the acme of enlightenment.
