If There Were Really Serious Consequences If

An Enemy Is Indeed A Precious Teacher.

The More You Think About Your Own Self, The More Self-centred You Are, The More Trouble Even Small Problems Can Create In Your Mind. The Stronger Your Sense Of 'i', The Narrower The Scope Of Your Thinking Becomes; Then Even Small Obstacles Become Unbearable. On The Other Hand, If You Concern Yourself Mainly With Others, The Broader Your Thinking Becomes, And Life's Inevitable Difficulties Disturb You Less.

Real Power Has To Do With One's Ability To Influence The Hearts And Minds Of Others.

We Cannot Learn Real Patience And Tolerance From A Guru Or A Friend. They Can Be Practiced Only When We Come In Contact With Someone Who Creates Unpleasant Experiences. According To Shantideva, Enemies Are Really Good For Us As We Can Learn A Lot From Them And Build Our Inner Strength.

If Through Practice Of Insight You Develop A Sense Of Ease, Then Time Has No Relevance. If You're Miserable, Time Does Matter. It's So Unbearable, So Enormous You Want To Get Out Of It As Soon As Possible.
