When we saturate the air with sounds full of reverence, humility, love, courage, self-confidence and tolerance, we too, will benefit from them. Therefore, always do good, see good, remember good and be good. When you are engaged in finding faults and failings in others, you will be paving the way for developing those faults and failings in yourself. Dwell on the good in others. Ideas which are opposed to spiritual tendencies, that narrow the limits of love, that provoke another, or greed that caused disgust - these you have to shut out from your heart. A devotee (sadhaka) must sublimate such thoughts before they cause an impact on the mind and should concentrate on the very source of the thinking process. This can be achieved by practicing equanimity, unaffectedness and balance.
