Passage 24

In English

Because of the fickle nature of the mind, sometimes you get unwanted thoughts. At that time, remind yourself, “I am not a monkey, I am a human” repeatedly. When you do so, the quality of a monkey will vanish from you. Anger, waywardness, etc. are animal qualities. Peace, compassion, love, forbearance, etc. are human qualities. When you develop human qualities, your animal qualities will automatically disappear.
