We must stay within ourselves. There is no need to be the judge of others. It is best if we can judge ourselves appropriately. In worldly dealings, almost all the Jivas begin to give advice, instruct and teach others right away. We should keep peace if confronted with such incident and try to understand the deeper meaning of their sayings. Try to take a positive meaning of their talk. At the same time, we should never start giving instructions, explanations and advice. Do not do this even if it is asked for.
That work (to give advice, instruct or explain) is not ours. It is best not to do that even if it is almost to the lips. It is not our work to be their loved one by saying such things. It is stupid to be their favorite by saying things that they like. We will fall in the ditch by saying such things. It is another matter to act favorable to others with knowledge and awareness. Shree Bhagwan is the loved one of everyone. We should be happily engaged in our own work. Consider being dead if you are guided by coxing and cajoling of someone else. So always be alert.
