दुष्टों और पियक्कड़ों से छुटकारा पाने के लिए, उन्हें निकलने का रास्ता देना जरूरी है। यदि आप उन्हें थोड़ी भी गुंजाइश नहीं देंगे, तो वे फँसे हुए चूहों जैसे हो जाएंगे। यदि उनके लिए हर रास्ता बंद कर दिया जाए, तो वे हर अच्छी चीज को कुतर डालेंगे।

To get rid of villains and knaves, it is necessary to give them a way out. If you don't give them any leeway at all, they will be like trapped rats. If every way out is closed to them, they will chew up everything good.

जब लालची लोगों को सोना दिया जाता है, तो वे इस बात से दुखी होते हैं कि उन्हें जवाहरात नहीं मिले; जब उन्हें जागीरदार बनाया जाता है, तो वे इस बात से नाराज होते हैं कि उन्हें राजा नहीं बनाया गया। ताकतवर और अमीर होने के बावजूद, उनका रवैया भिखारियों जैसा होता है। जो लोग संतुष्ट रहना जानते हैं, उनके लिए साधारण भोजन भी स्वादिष्ट पकवानों से बेहतर होता है, सूती कोट लोमड़ी के फर से ज्यादा गर्म होता है, और एक आम नागरिक किसी राजा या नवाब के आगे नहीं झुकता।

When greedy people are given gold, they are bitter that they haven't gotten jewels; when they are made barons they are resentful that they haven't been made lords. Though powerful and rich, their attitude is that of beggars. For those who know how to be content, simple fare is more delicious than rich delicacies, a cloth coat is warmer than fox fur, and an ordinary citizen does not defer to a king or a lord.

In whatever you do, if you leave a sense of incompleteness, then Creation cannot resent you, ghosts and spirits cannot harm you. If you insist on fulfillment in your work and perfection in achievement, you will become either inwardly deranged or outwardly unsettled.

लोगों की कमियों से नरमी से पेश आना चाहिए; यदि आप उन्हें क्रूरता से उजागर करते हैं, तो यह अपनी कमजोरी से दूसरी कमजोरी पर हमला करने जैसा है। जब लोग जिद्दी हो जाते हैं, तो उन्हें प्रभावित करने के लिए कौशल की आवश्यकता होती है; यदि आप उनके साथ गुस्से और द्वेष से पेश आते हैं, तो यह जिद का जवाब जिद से देना है।
