WHO DEVELOP THEIR OWN HEARTS BY MAGNIFYING AN ATOM OF VIRTUE IN OTHERS AS IF IT WERE AS GREAT AS A MOUNTAIN



Why are you nervous about conducting it? ... Come? Do something heroic! Brother, what if you do not attain Mukti, what if you suffer damnation a few times? Is the saying untrue? —

" There are some saints who full of holiness in thought, word, and bleed, please the whole world by their numerous beneficent acts, and who develop their own hearts by magnifying an atom of virtue in others as if it were as great as a mountain " (Bhartrihari, Nitishataka)
