Harmony & understanding
Before acting or speaking, know what you are doing. Our harmful thoughts poison our positive transformation. We are convinced we are right, but we do not know the full reality. Who are we to judge? It is better to remain humble, peaceful, and calm. Support another's feelings and spiritual journey. Even if you know someone is mistaken, protect their feelings. Congratulate not only the winner but also the one who lost. To work positively, we must support this understanding and the beautiful thorns of the rose. You give a rose without minding its thorns. Similarly, we all have thorns; our hands are not as clean as we think. Build a community. When someone makes a mistake, do not cast them out or criticize them. That is a loss and contrary to yoga, which means balance and union. The mantra in this environment brings change: negative karma departs, and light arrives. What disturbs us today will one day be unimportant. When we die, everything remains here. Thus, it is a hard yet simple job: to protect the spiritual work, environment, and people. Support and help them.
"Who are we to judge anyone?"
"If I cannot dry the tears of others, then I should at least not become the cause of them."
