Vikarm

The impact our actions, including words, make on the outside world are not particularly important. the wise do not bother too much about them, one way or the other.

The impact that it makes on us is very important because this is what helps to build character. Whether we turn out to be wise and compassionate or fickle minded and vindictive depends on the inner impact.

The wise recommend that we pay attention to the inner manifestations and not bother too much about the effects on the world outside.

In the Indian tradition it is called Vikarm and is the principle teaching of Geeta.
