Baba Ram Singh On Maintaining a Sweet and Humble Disposition Towards Others Outwardly and Inwardly
"The entire life of a human being is based on company and influence... All this boils down to your thought—it is only about your thought, which you have to control."
"When others say harsh things or behave in a rough manner, it is the mind that reacts and creates anger. But if you keep your thought turned toward the Master and Simran, you will not react. You will remain easygoing and calm, and no new karmic debt will be created."
"Why should we get angry or fight with others in a rest house? When you stay in an inn for one night, do you quarrel with the other travelers over small things? You know you will leave in the morning. Similarly, our interactions here are temporary, so we should live with everyone in peace, love, and a light heart."
"Saints do not have this concept of 'friends and enemies'—they treat everybody equally."
"When we look at others with discrimination, thinking someone is our friend and someone else is our enemy, we agitate the mind. But when we look at every soul as a child of God Almighty, we develop a sweet and even temperament toward everyone."
"Whatever ripens slowly is sweet... We should be humble, polite, and sweet outwardly and at heart. Everybody is free to choose their reaction to the situation that confronts us."
"If we are able to make ourselves humble, polite, and sweet, both outwardly and inwardly, the mind comes under control and stops creating friction with others."
