Whenever I associate with someone, may I think myself the lowest among all and hold the other supreme in the depth of my heart! . . . When I see beings of wicked nature, pressed by violent sin and affliction, may I hold these rare ones dear as if I had found a precious treasure! . . . When others, out of envy, treat me badly with abuse, slander and the like, may I suffer the defeat and offer the victory to others! . . .
