Dear Raghu,

Indeed there is a big difference between self-control and control of 
others. The ancient wisdom teaches self-control as one of the seven 
basic character traits to be developed assiduously by the student. 
Control of others leads to difficulties in every realm. Occultism 
teaches that the wise man leads by example, not by force. We are 
taught not to judge one another, but to learn to tolerate the 
differences of others, knowing that each facet is a component of the 
perfect gem.
