The Wisdom Bridge Quotes

“If anger is overcome, and a nasty and short temper is avoided, there is scope for the attainment of a balanced condition of the mind. The greater the control over anger, the freer and more bounteous is the celestial gift. It is a pity that this important and essential principle of the use of the tongue in the inevitable and constant activity of people is often overlooked and neglected. It is no doubt very difficult to control the mind. To free oneself from anger, we should think of ourselves to be polite and humble. A cool and calm disposition alone is required for spirituality. The heart is so tender that it begins to droop even by the slightest circulation of the wind. The technique of developing softness is to create extreme humility in temperament, so that it is filled up with such a sentiment of love, as to have no inclination to cause any hurt to anyone’s heart, and the words are also such as not to hurt anyone’s heart in the least.”
