Bob Fickes ~ The Three Virtuous Reactions to Others

We all want to behave as a spiritual person and do good to others. But sometimes it is difficult to decide what is the best way to respond to the behaviors of others. The Yoga Sutras and Lord Buddha give us the answer:
  • We react with friendliness to those who do good.
  • We react with compassion to those who are suffering.
  • We react with good will and give our blessings to those who are high souls.
When someone is behaving in a bad way with anger and negativity, we must learn to not react and remain neutral.
