Do not tell yourself more than your impressions announce. You have been told that someone speaks badly of you. This is what you have been told; you have not seen that you are injured by this. I see that this child is sick; this is all that I see. I do not see that the child is in danger. In this way, then, always remain with your original impressions. Add nothing else from within yourself, and nothing will happen to you; or, rather, add to them only as one would who truly knows what happens within the universal order of the Cosmos.
