“Never speak ill of others. It is a great sin. There may be some pleasure or enjoyment in other sins, but tell me what pleasure there is in ‘slander’? Sheikh saadi says, ‘if I were to speak ill of anybody, I would speak ill of my own mother, for if the merits of my good deeds are to go to any person, let them go to my own mother.’ Maharaj Ji (Baba Sawan Singh Ji) used to say that all the good deeds of one who talks ill of another are credited to the account of the slandered one. The slandered washes away our sins without charging us anything.”
