If
we become delighted and arrogant when people praise us and offer us
temptations, then that is very dangerous. On each one of these occasions,
we must promptly introspect, and ask: "Did I use the ego in performing
the act just now? Was I overjoyed or arrogant?"
We must introspect every day.

By
observing the precept of not telling anything but the truth, whatever
we say will benefit others,
and whatever we say will come true.
