Just like we have some physical features, we are born with some behavioural features. When this is accepted, one will understand that others who have got wrong behavior or tendencies, are not to be blamed for it. Once this is accepted, one will not resent and revolt against the irregular behaviors of the others. Everybody has got a character, a behavioral pattern and an interactional method. So, we must have the flexibility and insight to adjust and co-exist with the others.

To co-exist with others, one must not mull over past events in the mind repeatedly. One must not be blameful and dwell on others’ faults. One must adjust and accommodate with others and yield to the wishes of others. One must be refined and flexible when co-exiting with others. A spiritual aspirant must be willing to do things which he dislikes and forsake things he likes for the sake of others. So, when it comes to inter-personal relationships, one must have mutuality, be flexible, adjusting and accommodating.
