If You Can Cultivate The Right Attitude, Your Enemies Are Your Best Spiritual Teachers Because Their Presence Provides You With The Opportunity To Enhance And Develop Tolerance, Patience And Understanding.

Just As You Have The Instinctive Natural Desire To Be Happy And Overcome Suffering, So Do All Sentient Beings; Just As You Have The Right To Fulfill This Innate Aspiration, So Do All Sentient Beings. So On What Exact Grounds Do You Discriminate?

The Problem Isn't Materialism As Such. Rather It Is The Underlying Assumption That Full Satisfaction Can Arise From Gratifying The Senses Alone. Unlike Animals Whose Quest For Happiness Is Restricted To Survival And To The Immediate Gratification Of Sensory Desires, We Human Beings Have The Capacity To Experience Happiness At A Deeper Level Which, When Achieved, Can Overwhelm Unhappy Experiences.

Unlike Physical Progress, Which Is Subject To Natural Restrictions, The Qualities Of The Mind Can Be Developed Limitlessly.

Do Not Let The Behavior Of Others Destroy Your Inner Peace.
