‘If a man is intolerant, show him compassion
If a man should curse you, give him praise
If a man shouts you down, speak softly in reply
And if a man should hate you, show him love
Do this my son and you will have accomplished
something’

‘Will I be as the great Holy men of ancient time’s father?’

‘No my son.
Much more than that...

So very much more’
