The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man with goodness, the miser with generosity and the liar with truth.
As you are externally aware, so also you can be inwardly aware of your thoughts and feelings, of your motives and urges, of your prejudices, envies, greed and pride…This outward and inward awareness is a unitary process which brings about a total integration of human understanding.
There are ways from light into darkness and from darkness into light. There are ways, also, from the gloom into deeper darkness, and from the dawn into brighter light. The wise man will use the light he has to receive more light. He will constantly advance in the knowledge of truth.
You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.
