Premanand Maharaj Ji
How can I stay balanced when someone insults or hurts me?
Same vision for sandalwood and shoe
A person of steady wisdom looks at the one who applies sandalwood and the one who strikes with a shoe with the same vision. Whoever has the same attitude in sorrow and joy, enemy and friend, gain and loss, win and defeat is a recipient of Harivansh's grace.
One person applies sandalwood paste, another strikes with a shoe; he will have the same view of both, only then is he a mahatma: see enemy and friend as equal.
