therefore they become transient. When you believe the image in the mirror to be your real self (atma, here), what headway can you possibly make?
Nobility - Wickedness Both saints and sinners exist in the world together. It is because of a wicked person that a noble person has any worth. What if everyone in the world were noble?
Noble person : A person who will never come under the obligation of a wicked person.
Wicked person : A person who constantly harms others.
Grateful person : A person who will always remain indebted to those who have helped him and will never recall the hurt he suffered at the hands of others.
Ungrateful person : A person, who forgets good deeds of others towards him and despite this obligation, he knowingly hurts them, even if he gains nothing from it.
It is easier to fathom the depth of an ocean but there is no way to fathom the depth of the worldly life.
People, who abuse their authority, lose their powers. If a person does anything unworthy of his authority, he loses the power of that authority. If your employee abuses you, and you retaliate in return, and thus come down to his level, you will lose your authority.

A desire to discover non-contradiction is the right understanding
Those who have tried to destroy the world have themselves become destroyed in the process. Being a human carries a tremendous responsibility and liability: it is truly a test and yet people believe there is pleasure in it. There are innumerable danger zones where a human being can fall. Every moment
carries with it the fear of death so why waste even a single moment? Therefore do something that will improve your next life. This human life is a turning point; from here there is a deviation into the worlds of other life forms. From here every individual soul encounters four diversions - hellish life, animal or plant life, human life or celestial life. Liberation too can be attained from the human life form.
