To condem another is a sign of weakness, whereas understanding another, despite the differences existing between you, requires strength of character. Condemnation is superficial and an action of the Ego-mind. True understanding is an act of love and takes place in the heart. To condem is narrowing down your horizon. It cuts you off the natural flow of life. To understand with your heart enhances personal development and increases the life force flowing through you. However, often the Mind needs to grasp resemblace of understanding first, before it can sicker any deeper and finally touch the heart. Which is why to deliberately practice open-mindedness and tolerance towards others are vital accoplishments upon the road to a true and unequivocal understanding of life and the people around you.
There is a kind of love which unifies and unites and one that renders us poignantly - at times even painfully - aware of boundaries, limitations and our separateness. The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.
