"We must treat all human beings alike. By doing so, all people will be happy. Good and bad, pleasure and pain - everything must be faced with a sense of equanimity. That is the foremost duty of a human being. The human
mind is susceptible to several changes, on account of the food one takes and the company one moves in. The mind
is like a mad monkey. It is not an ordinary monkey, but “mad monkey”. Strictly speaking, the mind is a component
of mankind. Hence, it should be kind. Unfortunately, today we are converting it into a monkey. A person should
always be a person. Let others do whatever they wish to us, unknowingly, but we should not consciously think in
terms of doing harm to others. This is My advice."
