common sense if you clash with them. There should be no friction from your end. Common sense arises from another person's friction with you. The strength of the Soul is such that it will show you how to conduct yourself during times of friction. Once it is shown, this knowledge will never leave you. This way, you will acquire more common sense.
To think negatively about a wall would bring some harm upon you because the loss will only be one-sided, whereas even a single negative thought towards a living being is very detrimental. Losses will be encountered on both sides. But if we do pratikraman afterwards, the faults will be erased. Therefore, wherever there is friction, do pratikraman so it comes to an end.
For those who do not clash with anybody, I guarantee they will attain liberation (moksha) in three lifetimes. If you clash, you must do pratikraman. All those clashes will continue as long as sexual relations continue. Sex is the root cause of clashes. He who conquers sexual instincts conquers all. Such a man impresses all who see him.
