When someone insults or defames you or ignores you, accept it with a smile. “This is the way of the world; it is ungrateful, ill-mannered! They are doing me good, my strength is under trial, I shouldn’t yield to anger or resentment”, tell yourself such invigorating things, and be quiet, with a smile of triumph on your lips! There was a mendicant who was abused by a gang of mischievous young men. He said, “Carry on! Enjoy yourselves! I see that you are very happy at this chance. This is exactly what I desire for you.” When you don’t accept the insult someone casts on you, it goes back to the person who indulged in it. A registered letter that is not accepted, returns to the sender! Do not damage your mental peace, by receiving the letter and reading the contents. Refuse to receive it. You have a chance of correcting the wrong-doers too; but when you accept it, you join the mischief-makers. So, be warned!
