How do you stop an argument? E-mail

Problems arise when we try to impose our views upon each other. We want the other to accept our views. That is why arguments never stop. We are not trying to learn. We want to show off that we are better and smarter. That is pride. So arguments never end. Nobody wants to look at the truth. They want to look only at their own beliefs and understanding. It is not easy to stop an argument. People do not have knowledge of the Gita. Knowledge of the Truth and humility is for practice and to appreciate the truth, equally in enemies and friends.

-- Swami Radhanandaji

Quotes

“The opposite of envy is generosity. Generosity does not allow us to be envious of anyone. On the contrary, if we find virtue in anyone, we appreciate it and even profit by it.” – M.K. Gandhi
