The Eighteen "Ities" : 10 & 11.





10. ADAPTABILITY :



Understand well the nature of people with whom you come into contact.

Adjust your mode of approach to them.

Adjust yourself in such a way as to be pleasing to them.

Joyfully bear with the eccentricities of others.

 Always react in a harmonious manner.

Serve all and love all.

Have the feeling that the Lord dwells in the hearts of all as the Self of all.



11. HUMILITY :



Respect everybody. Bow with folded hands before all.

Do not talk in a loud voice before elders and venerable persons.

Look at the toes while you walk.

See the Lord in all and feel that you are His servant and so the servant of all.

Consider none as inferior to you.
