“DO NOT INTERFERE IN WHAT DOES NOT CONCERN YOU.”

FREEDOM OR SUFFERING BEGINS WITHIN. TRUE MASTERY IS SELF-MASTERY, NOT CONTROL OVER OTHERS.

Talmud (Yoma 4b; Berakhot 62b)

Bhagavad Gita (3:35)

New Testament – 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Proverbs 26:17, “He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears”. This verse serves as a warning against getting involved in conflicts that do not concern you. It compares such interference to a foolish and dangerous act like grabbing a dog by the ears, which will only lead to harm.
