Go out and serve the suffering. Learn to place others in front of yourself.

We should forgive and forget the faults of others. Anger is the enemy of every spiritual aspirant. Anger causes loss of power through every pore of our body.

Intellectual prowess has its limitations. Thus, do not limit the scope of your learning to the realm of the intellect.

The change will only happen outside once we change within ourselves.
