Experience Counts
Just progress on your path like a trained horse
No one can promote you or demote you. Care for neither praise nor criticism. It is in a dog’s nature to bark. Why are you affected by it? Just progress on your path like a trained horse.
If you have decided that you will not be cheated, then none can get the better of you. It is our stability of mind that counts. Learn to understand people, learn to evaluate them, learn to distinguish the good from the bad. And this wisdom stems from your upbringing and experiences in the world.
If you have been deceived when you lacked experience, it is not wasted, because that counts as an experience for you and helps you be careful in the future. But you must not consciously commit a blunder.
Spirituality is the subject that guides you to understand the whereabouts of God. Once you comprehend this, there is nothing else to know.
