Jalaluddin Rumi:
What is Poison? Anything which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be Power, Wealth, Hunger, Food, Ego, Greed, Laziness, Love, Ambition, Hate or anything.
What is fear? Non- acceptance or uncertainty.. If we accept that uncertainty it becomes an Adventure.
What is Envy? Non-acceptance of Good in others. If accepted it becomes Inspiration.
What is anger? Non-acceptance of things which are beyond our control. If we accept it becomes Tolerance.
What is Hatred? Non-acceptance od person as he is. If we accept a person unconditionally, it becomes Love.
