Those who do thus will certainly become fit for the Lord's Grace. First give up the evil tendency to feel envious at the prosperity of others and the desire to harm them. Be happy that others are happy. Sympathize with those who are in adversity and wish for their prosperity. That is the means of cultivating love for God.
Patience is all the strength that man needs.
Those anxious to live in joy must always be doing good. It is easy to conquer anger through love, attachment through reasoning, falsehood through truth, bad through good and greed through charity. No reply should be given to the words of the wicked. Break off all relations with such people. Seek the company of good people, even at the sacrifice of your honor and life.
