It is, as it were, a message to man to avoid colliding against obstacles he may meet in life. The right approach is to circumvent them with tact and, in this way, be able to continue to engage in positive action. In the same way, in the world of animals, we see that issues repeatedly arise among them, which causes them to enter into conflict. However, generally, they roar and growl or move their horns about for a while, and then they forget the issue and quickly return to normalcy as if nothing had happened. Man should live in a society in the same manner. In social life, certain things repeatedly happen that people find upsetting. The proper way to deal with this is to accept such situations as temporary. One should not let them take the form of permanent bitterness. The study of the world of nature tells us that everything gives to others without demanding anything in return. For example, the sun generously gives us light but does not extract any price. The air continuously supplies oxygen, but it does not take any compensation. Similarly, many creatures and things are involved in serving people without any recompense. None of them presents a bill to the people who benefit from them. One learns that the world around us is a giver world. It is as if the culture of this world is a giver culture. Everything in this world continuously sends out this message—become a giver for others rather than just being a taker.
