Our scriptures have given us several guiding principles following which we can aviod many problems and with happy and peaceful mind engage in our own spiritual progress. We only have to choose from amongst the four major ways to react according to the nature of the person in question-
1. Maitri (friendship) : One should make friends with the people whose ideals, beliefs and nature match his.
२। KaruNa (compassion) : Be kind and show compassion To those who are ignorant or immature. He should try to raise them to his own level with all sympathy & compassion.
3. Mudita (Delight): One should rejoice at the success of those who are higher than him in level of understanding, skill or maturity. He should never envy them.
4. Upeksha (Indifference): One should remain indifferent to those who are obstinate and impudent, who are likely to become ill-disposed towards him if he tries to make them understand and see reason and are not worth making friends with. Such undeserving people should be overlooked and treated with indifference.
