“Hindus should not harbour anger in their hearts against Muslims even if the latter wanted to destroy them. Even if the Muslims want to kill us all, we should face death bravely. If they established their rule after killing Hindus, we would be ushering in a new world by sacrificing our lives.”

About this quote
The hard teaching here is to refuse hatred even toward someone bent on your destruction, meeting the threat with steadiness instead of returning the malice. Anger feels like strength but it hands an enemy power over your own heart; the refusal to hate keeps a person inwardly free even in real danger.
When to use it
- Choosing not to let a serious betrayal harden into lifelong hatred of the person who caused it.
- A community meeting vandalism and threats with steady calm instead of plotting revenge.
- Keeping your dignity and nerve when confronted by an aggressor rather than sinking to their level.
