must bear with it patiently. After all it was my mistake." Then I would say, "This is what actionism teaches you. Bear all your sorrows and hardships with patience and equanimity. There is no use blaming others or hating them. On the contrary, if you blame others and start upon a campaign of hatred and contempt against them, you will weave fetters around you which will cause you even more pain. The cause of sorrow lies in your own actions, in your own feelings. The fault is in your own self. Others are merely instruments. Therefore the: principle of actionism gives you training in developing a spirit of tolerance and equanimity."
