Every quality has plus point and minus point, both. A quality turns into a minus point when it becomes harmful to others.
The only effective way to prevent quarrels, whether at the individual or at the national or international level, is to train people’s minds: patience should be emphasized as the greatest of all virtues. Such a mentality can be developed only if negative thinking is replaced by positive thinking. Such a reform of the mind would lead to the most positive reconstruction of human affairs ever witnessed in human history.
The habit of tolerance prevents a man from wasting his time and talent on unnecessary matters. The policy of tolerance or forbearance enhances your efficacy, while intolerant behaviour reduces it. Tolerance is a positive principle of life, expressing the noble side of a man’s character. The existence of tolerant human beings in a society is just like the blooming of flowers in a garden.
The beauty of the garden of life is enhanced if the flower of unity is accompanied by the thorn of diversity. The formula of peaceful living in spite of diversity is to adopt a policy of tolerance in the midst of controversy. If people could only learn to tolerate others’ differences, their very forebearance would become a great enabling factor in collective human development.
Every man is born with an ‘ego’ which is normally dormant. Our safety lies in our allowing it to remain so. But if through ill-considered action it is somehow dealt a blow, it will rear up like a serpent and wreak all kinds of havoc.
This is a world of competition. The secret of success lies solely in hard work and wisdom. It is only those who make every effort to earn excellent qualifications who will ever come to the fore.
When man speaks, he is in a limited domain, but when he is silent, he finds himself in the unlimited vastness of the world. Man’s focus becomes his own self rather than extraneous matters. He eschews superficiality and engages himself with deeper realities.
Failing at first to acknowledge the favours of one’s fellow men leads one to failure to give wholehearted credence to the Lord of the Universe. There is no greater loss in this world than one who has failed to acknowledge his Creator.
If the recipient of a favour fails to acknowledge it for fear of belittling himself in the eyes of his benefactor, he does himself nothing but harm. It is more a question of being belittled in the eyes of his own conscience than falling down in others’ eyes — a course by far the more injurious.
