How should I react when a sinner hurts me saying that he is playing the role of a sinner like Ravana?

[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, Kindly answer the following questions of mine. 1. If any sinner hurts me saying that he is also a devotee of God playing the role of a sinner like Ravana, how should I react?

According to what You have taught me, if it is retaliatory sin, then I must keep quiet. If it is a fresh sin, You will take care of that. If any sinner (assuming he/she is an atheist too) uses this very logic while hurting a devotee, how should a devotee react?]

Swami replied: - How can you know that a sin is fresh or in retort? Hence, it is better to leave to the action of God as far as possible. Of course, you can have a guess. Suppose a student disrespects the teacher, the teacher shall punish him to teach a lesson immediately and shall not keep silent leaving it to the decision of God. Sometimes your capacity to retort a sin is very less and in such case, there is no other way than to leave to God. Even if you have the retorting power, try to control yourself as far as possible to do patient analysis. However, if it is a retorting case and even if you have retorting capability, God will see that you are unable to retort.
