In Srimad Bhagavatam we find that Dhruva (5 years old boy) was insulted by his stepmother Suruci, when he wanted to sit on the lap of his father king Uttanapada. At that time, he came running to his mother Queen Suniti, crying very grievously. At that time, Queen Suniti immediately lifted her son Dhruva on to her lap, while the palace residents who had all heard the harsh words of suruci related everything in detail and she became greatly aggrieved. Any person in that situation would have thought of taking revenge for the insult whereas Mother Suniti being a vedic mother speaks the following very instructive words to her son:

SB 4.8.17
dirgham shvasanti vrjinasya paaram
apashyati baalakam aaha baalaa
maamangalam taata pareshu mamsthaa
bhunkte jano yat para-duhkhadas tat

"She also was breathing very heavily, and she did not know the factual remedy for the painful situation. Not finding any remedy, she said to her son: My dear son, don't wish for anything inauspicious for others. Anyone who inflicts pains upon others suffers himself from that pain."

When Dhruva was insulted by his step mother, he comes running to his real mother and his mother nicely advises him not to have any ill feeling towards his step mother and not to inflict pain upon others because anyone who does that has to suffer himself from that pain. We also find later in the story that because Dhruva accepted and followed the words of Suruci regarding the worship of the Supreme Lord, it proved to be a benediction for Dhruva maharaj and he became a very wonderful devotee and could see the Lord face to face. We also find that Suruci lost her son in an unfortunate manner as a reaction to her inflicting pain upon Dhruva Maharaj and his mother.

We sincerely pray to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna, Srila Prabhupada and our beloved Guru Maharaj to bestow always their unlimited mercy upon us in order to avoid any ill feelings towards the other living entities in our mind even unknowingly.
