Afraid of being criticized and judged by other people, you swallow your anger. This is not compassion, or gentleness. You are not doing this for the good of that person, only for yourself! This is selfishness, not a gentleman, not a nice person.

Being scolded by people is being praised by them!

What is meant by "enduring insults"? It means to be able to see clearly, in whatever situation, that it is our own karma, and not other's fault.

Be frank with yourself. Be careful, otherwise you will be cheated day after day. It is like the patients who don't know, and refuse to believe that they are ill. We pursue spiritual practice for ourselves, not for gaining the other's respect.
