Once Gautama Buddha was on a journey. As he was traveling by foot, suddenly one person started abusing him, but it did not affect Goutam Buddha, rather he smiled and went away from that place. A disciple later asked Lord Buddha, "Why you didn't say anything to that person?" Lord Buddha replied, "If I give you a gift and you don't take it, where will it go? It will remain with me. "Similarly if someone abuses me and if I don't accept the abuses, then where it will go? It will remain with that person."
