“If you can cultivate the right attitude, your enemies are your best spiritual teachers because their presence provides you with the opportunity to enhance and develop tolerance, patience and understanding.”
“Although enemies such as hatred and craving Have neither any arms nor legs, And are neither courageous nor wise, How have I been used like a slave by them?”
“Having departed from this life And from all my friends and relatives, If all alone I must go elsewhere What is the use of making friends and enemies?”
“Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts.”
“Man’s enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.”
