Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do I learn to bear insult and criticism calmly?
Bear everything with equal mind
Bhagwan Kapil names titiksha (tolerance) as the first sign of a saint: bearing honour, insult, criticism, gain, pleasure and pain. Nothing inside should shake you, neither joy nor grief.
Titiksha means being tolerant, bearing everything: honour, insult, criticism, gain, pleasure and pain. Talking is one thing, but it is hard; inside, nothing should shake you, neither joy nor grief.
