opposite party, you are bound to taste the bitter results of your
action. Your negative action will be followed by a negative
reaction, and you shall have to pay the price for your own
uncalled for initiatives. The best way to confront controversial
situations is to be cautious and to try to activate the conscience
of the opposite party. This policy will definitely work. The verdict
of your rival’s conscience will certainly go in your favour. This is
a simple formula for a better life.

The conscience checks you from indulging in any
evil practices, and if you do indulge in any kind
of misdemeanour, the conscience becomes alive and
compels you to repent and amend your behaviour.

No one is a born enemy. Enmity is a relative phenomenon of
a personality. It is your own negative action that turns a person
into your enemy. If you avoid negative action, the apparent
enmity will disappear. Enmity is the product of your own wrong
behaviour, and through good behaviour you can make people
your dear friends.
The ego and the conscience are both good and healthy parts
of the human personality. The ego, in the positive sense, gives
you determination; it helps you to build a strong personality and,
being one of your greatest strengths, it gives you the courage to
face challenges. Learn the art of ego management, and the ego
will prove to be a blessing for you.

The conscience is also very important for the development
of your personality. The conscience instills in you the spirit of
mercy and enables you to differentiate between what is right
and what is wrong. Above all, the conscience serves as the moral
keeper of your personality.
