Swajan : Mota, we try and wish to understand view point of others. Don't you think others should also try and understand our point of view?
Pujya Shree Mota : There is a fundamental fault in your question, meaning there is difference of understanding. No body tries to understand other's view point. Every soul tries to evaluate and understand others by his own understanding and thinking. We can never understand the view point of others regarding particular tendency, the kind of understanding, how the person is guided by the tendency and person's real intent.
It may be all right if we think about others by putting ourselves in their shoes. But to do that is not possible for people like you and me, the reason being our inability to understand their tendencies completely. This is very difficult to achieve since we do not posses needed equanimity and peace. One who has achieved higher level of equanimity with wisdom, devotion with grace of God can experience others condition completely. So we do not have the qualifications to do that. There is no body in this world capable of knowing others completely.
