Maturity, from a Hindu perspective

"Mature individuals do not resent correction, for they identify more with their long-range selves that profit from correction than with the momentary self that is being advised. Similarly the yogi accepts loss, pain, and shame with equanimity, knowing that these too are teachers." - Huston Smith, "The World's Religions" **A yogi is a practictioner of yoga. Yoga, in Hinduism, is a spiritual discipline.
