Seeing that we are better than
others is not right. Seeing that we
are equal to others is not right.
Seeing that we are inferior to
others is not right. If we think that
we’re better than others, pride
arises. If we think that we are
equal to others, we fail to show
respect and humility at the proper
times. If we think that we are
inferior to others, we get depressed
thinking about it and try to blame
our inferiority on having been born
under a bad sign, and so on. Just let
all of that go!
