Dear disciples, One should posses, virtues and behaves properly toward your fellowman with respect. Righteousness, intellect and trust in order to be successful, happy, loved and respected. Behavior can be changed to fit the circumstances, but the content should always be sincere and heartfelt.
Is there anybody who has a happy life, but lives without righteousness; who is respected, but lives without humanity; who governs people, but lives without good manners; who performs carefully and appropriately, but has no intellect; who has followers, but exists without trust?
No one can achieve success and glory without the support of friends and community. Thus, one should always be grateful for that support.
Gratitude is an act which expresses the quality of and educated person.
Conversely, we do not blame the ungrateful person, but ask ourselves whether or not we extended our concerns to them with all our hearts. An experience of happiness through a good deed is too great spiritually to compare with what we earn materially. To gain happiness one should create happiness for others first. To create happiness for others is to create happiness for ourselves. To perform a good deed is not only a duty, but also a benefit of health and soul resulting in a relaxed situation.
Those who hand to others a rose should be left with a pleasant scent on their hand. Happy life for those who put justice and righteousness first. Beautiful life for those who live with humanity, respect, intellect and trust.
The lives of those described above are stable, glorious and happy because they know how to live the sole desire for a common benefit.
They will then be loved and honored. The world will be a better place if everyone were to live orderly lives knowing that in order to receive, one must first give.
