How should I behave with people who hate me and speak ill of me?

Tolerate, and wish your enemies well

In spiritual life, tolerate as far as you can and keep a good feeling even toward those who hate you, because their understanding is spoiled. Do not wish them ruin; wish for their good.

As far as possible we should tolerate, and keep a good feeling toward them too. Do not hold ill feeling toward them, because the poor souls' understanding is already spoiled, which is why they are acting with hatred.
