We become what we contemplate. By constant thought an ideal
gets imprinted on our hearts. When we fix our thoughts all the
time of the evil that others do, our mind gets polluted by evil.
On the contrary, if we fix our mind on the virtues or well-being of
the others, our mind is cleansed of wrong and entertains only good
thoughts. No evil thought can penetrate the mind of a person
wholly given to love and compassion.
