It is only when they are practised in daily life that their true nature and value will be realised. A man is judged by the nature of his actions. If his actions are good, he is described as a good man. If his actions are bad, he is described as a wicked person. One's qualities and actions are interdependent.
Actions reveal qualities and qualities determine actions.
Hence, every one should strive to reform himself by developing good qualities. Unless an effort is made to put into practice at least a few of the teachings, all these exercises are futile. They are spiritual qualities and are essential for people anywhere, at all times. Among the qualities a man has to develop if he is to realise his divinity, the foremost is Kshama - forbearance or forgiveness. It is essential for every human being.
