Remove sorrow through tolerance and contentment

 

Ask youself; are my words those which break or those which join together?

You may speak only two words but pay attention to speaking sweetly. Don't

speak things that will hurt the heart of anyone. If someone gets angry, pay

attention to remaining peaceful yourself. You can't tell them anything at

that time because they will get more upset.

 

About 20 years ago we made the slogan 'Speak slowly, speak softly, speak

little'. Can add to that 'Speak honestly'. Many have the

habit of speaking bitter words. It seems to be very easy for them to speak

harshly and hurt others. They say, 'Well, it is just the way I speak. My

tone is like that'. They say they didn't have any bad intention, that is

just the way they speak. They justify themselves in this way. In this way

they continue to break people's hearts. They break someone's heart and that

person worries about it while they themselves don't worry at all. They just

forget about it. We have to train ourselves to speak sweetly.

 

We can see from the other person's response whether you have given them

happiness or sorrow. My concern should be to speak such words that I

receive blessings from the hearts of others. No-one can teach you this.

The one who knows the value of time and also that this Confluence is the

time for transformation will teach themselves.

 

Now learn not to see anyone else; I have to change myself. Actually, who are

the ones who will change themselves for the better? Three things are

visible in a person who wants to change; firstly, they don't want to see

others. Secondly, they will look carefully at their own selves. Thirdly,

they will be clear; I really want to change.

 

There is really only one who can remove our sorrow and worry and that is

God. A yukti for this is that if you help remove the sorrow of others, God

will automatically remove your sorrow. In fact, it is a very deep

philosophy that if I don't take sorrow I won't give sorrow. Whatever

happens, don't take sorrow from it. Think about it; what is the time that

you have spent taking sorrow like? Finish this habit of experiencing

sorrow.

 

We need two virtues in order to let go of sorrow. These are: tolerance and

contentment. Just think 'I am content. I don't need anything. Wherever I

am, I am content. I am content living with love and staying with happiness'.

Just for a minute think about it for your self. Are you content? You have

God's help. Are you content? Our two hands coming together doesn't just mean

'namaste' but it also means 'I have enough. I don't want anything. I have

everything I need'. Remember this. Never allow your eyes to go anywhere

else, thinking: I need this, I want that.

 

The second virtue is tolerance. Whatever anyone says is ok. I don't need to

worry about it. When tolerance is lacking the soul becomes sensitive. If

someone says something tears start to flow. Even if nobody says anything

you will feel 'I have tolerated too much'. Even to have the thought that

you are tolerating means to experience sorrow. To really tolerate means

that anyone may say anything but you feel they did not say anything.

 

Two things that make people very unhappy inside are imagination and

misunderstanding. You misunderstand and start to imagine. Because of these

two things the soul becomes dry and wilts. Where there is love and honesty

there is happiness. Even though a house may be full of everything, if there

is not honesty and love the people living there start to use their

imaginations. The result of this is that they are always scared; they start

to worry about what others are saying about them and they worry about what

to say to each other.

 

People come to meet and sometimes they relate something and start

crying. However, within 15 minutes we can make them start smiling. It never

takes more than 15 minutes. In that time need not do anything but wipe their

face

with a handkerchief and give them the hanky. The cause of much of this

sorrow is that they actually don't love themselves. They also don't really

love others. Thirdly, they have a lot of expectations. They say 'This one

is doing this, that one is not doing that. I don't have this, I don't have

that'. Let go of such thoughts now because they will never allow you to be

really happy.
