We cannot change someone’s character or what they did or will do. It is very difficult. But there is no need to change anyone. If they have right understanding of their character, that’s good enough. So as a conclusion: to put in a high place things we should put in a high place. Something which should be put in a low place should be put at a low place, that is our religion. There is no secret.
