Tolerance and sympathy are essential, only then can man be enlightened...

"Tolerance and sympathy are essential.
Only then can man be enlightened.
What is the use of having tolerance
if you do not practice it in the right way?

Upon the demise of someone in a house,
people comfort the bereaved by asking
questions about the deceased.

But such questions give only temporary relief.
But if you tell them the truth that
everyone has to face death, they think you are harsh.

If you speak pleasingly, they think you are gentle.

When people report to God about death and disease,
God says, "Very happy". A man was angered by this and asked God,
" You say You are happy when I am dying?"

"Death is inevitable. If not today,
it will come some day or the other!
Truth grants real happiness, so I speak the truth!"

When God replied thus, he was pacified.
