The best when dealing with them is not to mind the reactions
        and go on doing what one has to do with simplicity and sincer-
        ity.
                                     *
        Do not worry about the reactions of people, however unpleas-
        ant they may be — the vital is everywhere and in everybody full
        of impurities and the physical full of unconsciousness. These
        two imperfections have to be cured, however long it may take,
        and we have only to work at it patiently and courageously.
                                     *
        Who has told you that your nature is inferior to X's? Each one
        has his own nature and follows his own path, and comparisons
        with others are always useless and most often dangerous.

                                     *
        Timidity is a form of vanity. When you are timid, it means that
        you attach much more importance to the opinion others have
        of you than to the sincerity of your action.
                                     *
        It is not necessary to attach any importance to the opinions
        of people because they are the passing results of passing im-
        pressions; other times and new impressions will easily change
        them.
            He who is faultless does not care for the opinion of others.
            Why should he listen to threats? He must act according to
        the inner command and not according to public opinion.
                                     *
        When you give yourself to the accomplishment of an unselfish
        aim, never expect ordinary people to praise and support you
        — on the contrary, they will always fight against you, hate and
        curse you.
                                     *
