You must understand this: if our mind is pure, then the entire external world will also become pure on its own.
Good deeds must be done from the heart and not expect gratitude for them.
When a person experiences anger, there is no need to react to this anger, because this person is sick, in anger he expresses some angry words to you.

Wisdom is not just knowledge, a volume of information, wisdom is that knowledge that helps us curb our mind, helps our internal, spiritual development.
Our mind has a tendency to hear what it wants to hear and does not want to make discoveries. He wants to hear what he wants to hear, and he hears it. In the same way, through our vision he sees what he wants to see, but what he does not want to see, he does not see. Therefore, different people perceive one object in different ways: some experience liking, some experience dislike for the same object.
When you wish happiness for all living beings, your happiness will come to you on its own.
Some people cheat others, but they are very successful. Why? Not because deception brings them success, but because the good karmic deed they performed in a past life brought the result that they are now experiencing, which manifested itself in the form of success. But this good karma will be exhausted, and they will experience the consequences of the negative deeds that they are committing now. When they talk about karma, you may have doubts from the example of such fortunate people who actually commit bad deeds. And this is the answer to your doubts.
If you do not curb your own mind, no matter how much wealth, property you have, you will not be happy, it is impossible. And if you have not curbed your mind, no matter where you go, no matter what country you live in, it is impossible to experience happiness.

It is very important for us, as sentient and intelligent beings, to constantly check and examine ourselves, to see how we live every moment of our lives.

The kinder we become, the more kindly others treat us, and the more good we are, the easier it is for us to see the good around us.
If someone thinks only about himself, without thinking about what is happening to the people around him, then he demonstrates his very narrow outlook, ossified mind and rough heart.
Usually we judge others only by external signs and tend to see only flaws in them. But if we take a closer look, we will see that human nature is like a carpet woven from millions of threads. People's shortcomings and shortcomings are often caused by a combination of circumstances - a psychological reaction to emotional wounds, violence and rejection from society, disappointment, insecurity, suffering, humiliation or illness.
