appearances and disappearances of
happiness and distress.

Kñamä, tolerance and forgiveness, should be practised; one should
be tolerant and excuse the minor offenses of others.

dishonour from others. If one is engaged in the advancement
of spiritual knowledge, there will be so many insults and much
dishonour from others. This is expected because material nature is
so constituted. - BG 13:8-12, purport -
