Dadashri: When an intense mental note (nondha) is
made on someone, it means that you are harboring vengeance
within towards him. And to remember (yaad) means it is merely

I tell them off or do anything to them! Everything will be fine if
you do not keep intense mental notes. It is not worth keeping
such notes.

what is the use of keeping intense mental notes about anyone in
this world? You should not make an intense mental note even if
