 The
steps of the path to Enlightenment must be taken in our everyday
life. Of those twenty steps, you already know twelve, and the
rest are as follows.

Good men and bad men differ from each other in their
natures. Bad men do not recognize a sinful act as sinful ; if
its sinfulness is brought to their attention, they do not cease
doing it and do not like to have any one inform them of their
sinful acts.

Wise men are sensitive to right and wrong; they cease
doing anything as soon as they see that it is wrong; they are
grateful to anyone who calls their attention to such wrong acts.

Thus good men and bad men differ radically. Bad men
never appreciate kindness shown to them, but wise men appreciate
it and are grateful. Wise men try to express their appreciation
and gratitude by some return of kindness, not only to their
benefactors, but to everyone else.
