I am alone in this world;
nothing belongs to me and I belong to none. With this awareness, I can be in command of my mind and
keep it above self-pity.
Though I appear alone, my soul is in immortal company,
equipped with infinite energy, knowledge, and perception: everything else is external, they come and leave, due to ever-changing conditions and associations.

Jain Pratikramana Sutra (Porasi Santhärä)
To Light One Candle; Universal Prayers for Peace Clare Rosenfield and Pramoda Chitrabhanu
We can remove our anger By cultivating patience and calmness. We can reduce our egocentrism through Selfless service and humility.
We can stop our habit of Deceit and manipulation by trying To be honest and straightforward. We can cause our greed to subside By allowing ourselves to feel contented and blessed,

Infatuation and aversion,
The Master yogi of yogis, Most brave and perfect,
Protector of those who Seek protection in spirit.
