3. Ability to accept: Whenever someone insults us or hurts our feelings,
we tend to avoid them or disregard them, even if they apologize for their
behavior. This is because we are not able to let go of our grudges and
bitterness, which is a hindrance in bringing love and compassion into our
lives. Our religious texts and Puranas extol Lord Vishnu as always being
ready to forgive His bhaktas, devas, and even asuras, and emphasize the
fact that “Love is God”. Therefore, we should cultivate the necessary qual-
ities of forgiveness and acceptance.
In summary, in the words of Thiruvalluvar, people who incorporate Love
into their everyday lives, always live for the benefit of others, whereas
people with no Love or compassion in their hearts, always live with self-
ish motives.
