Never speak ill of others

So easy to say. but very difficult to follow. Because we have so many prejudices, preformed opinions, so many bad words heard about the person. Unfortunately if a good thing is told about a person it does not get publicity. But the bad words get bad publicity and in what a scale! It is unbelievable. It spreads like wild fire and it does not get extinguished fast. So, ill speaking of others is very easy. But let us avoid it. If someone has intentionally or unintentionally bad mouthed us, let us forgive them. If we also bad mouth them, what is the difference between us and them? Somewhere we need to have a difference. Let us be true to ourselves. Suppose someone's words totally spoils our career, jeopardizes the chance of getting higher salary or increment... still pardon them for they don't know what they are doing. That is what God says. please do not ill talk of others. it does not take us anywhere. It is destined to happen, perhaps. Or may be the person deserves only that though the person desires for more. But I tell you, it is very difficult. I was reading in a book that some people start their day thinking how do I harass such and such a person today. It means the harassment idea is always there. Only there would be variety of harassing. But accept that. Vaadiraja swamy has told, There is no better penance than patience/tolerance. Let us be patient and tolerant and let the world do whatever they want to us. Let us face the world.
