Disciple: How can I make a positive change in others?
Guru: Realize that you cannot change anyone in this world. If you are thinking that you can change someone, you’re wrong. I can only change one person in this world – me. Be it by advice, scorn, teaching or punishment, I cannot change anyone else in this world. If you believe the opposite, time will teach you. The only person you can change is you. So, brace yourself! Accept the good from everyone. Change yourself!

The second verse from the Eleventh Anuvaka of Taittiriya Upanishad says:
यान्यनवद्यानि कर्माणि | तानि सेवितव्यानि | नो इतराणि |
यान्यस्माकं सुचरितानि | तानि त्वयोपास्यानि | नो इतराणि || २ ||
Yani anavadyani karmani | tani sevitavyani | no itarani |
Yani asmakam sucharitani | tani tvayopasyani | no itarani || 2 ||
[As you gain more freedom, you also have more responsibilities. You will be responsible for the consequences of your actions. Only noble and virtuous actions should be followed and not others.]
Namaste! Om!
ॐ Chidanandam ॐ
