The young woman had married the man she loved, yet she could not stand her mother-inlaw. The noble lady received insults, gibes and humiliations from her daughter-in-law.

She could not caress her son without the risk of being immediately insulted.

She was also unable to work, harried as she was by incessant criticism.

Any attempt to explain herself was constructed as discourtesy.

If she were ill, she was obliged to suffer a harsh martyrdom to keep her son from suffering more than she herself.

During the absence of her husband on a long trip, the daughter-in-law took this opportunity to expel the old woman one extremely cold night. The unfortunate woman underwent so much suffering that when she returned home, five days later, it was only to die.

Years passed amid the regrets of the son and the complains of the wife, who never had become reconciled with her mother-in-law.

The day came, however, when the daughter-in-law also died and, on asking about her mother-in-law, she learned to her amazement that she had reincarnated a long time ago and was then living in the home of her former daughter-in-law. There, she had been received with great affection as youngest daughter, and had remained on as the affectionate support of her daughterin-law’s husband.

It is useless to cultivate aversion of any sort, for the entire universe lives in equilibrium by the law of love.

Whenever you may be on the point of hating anyone, don’t forget that comes reincarnation.
