If someone says something unpleasant to us, we should not respond with a similar behaviour out of anger. At that time, we should be patient and give them the benefit of the doubt. It is okay if someone says something to us that is not pleasant; it might be possible that they are having a bad day. But if we have been blessed with a calm mindset in that moment, we should not respond with negativity. Our words should be like a medicament, not causing pain but healing it.

In materialistic relationships, love is often dealt with like a business; with the expectation that if I'm doing something for someone today, they will do something for me tomorrow. This barter is not love; rather, completely surrendering to the Supreme Being is Divine Love in essence. The Supreme Being loves everyone equally all the time, just like the rays of the sun do not discriminate, they shine equally on everyone.
