---- DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----
"When a fellow member, be they junior or senior, receives an award or honour, our life-state is clearly evident in whether or not we are able to sincerely rejoice as if we ourselves were the ones receiving the accolade. Those who share in such joys are genuine comrades who possess a broad, elevated life-state and are able to practise faith in a spirit of unity with their fellow members. On the other hand, those who instead feel envy or jealousy on such occasions are exhibiting a low, narrow life-state controlled by desires for personal acclaim. This typifies someone whose belief is coloured by discord.
"For us, unity means to share in the joys and sorrows of our fellow members. Human revolution enables us to overcome our petty self-centred tendencies and to wholeheartedly rejoice for others' happiness."
