This point is very important. Everything that happens to us should be perceived as an opportunity for growth and Enlightenment. When you realize that everything springs only from yourself, you will learn both peace and joy. Pride leads to violence and evil. The truly good gaze upon everything with love and understanding.
H e takes no delight in being shown respect.
If he is slighted, he shows no anger. His wisdom is like an ocean. These are the hallmarks of the truly wise. Once we fully overcome attachment and all of its ways of thought, then we will clearly understand that all goodness and all defilement arise dependent on inner conditions. Only when evil has been stopped at its roots, and when there is wisdom without anger, is there true stature.
