Let all the Poisons emerge Without Interference

Suppose someone insults you what will you lose by their insult? You should not

respond to such insults with any agitation or excitement. If you remain

peaceful, all the anger of the other person may freely pour out. But if you try

to obstruct others' strong feelings by preventing them from venting their anger,

it could possibly lead to a dangerous situation. Consider, as an example, that

someone has become sick, that he is feeling quite nauseous and is throwing up

the contents in his stomach. What is the reason for his being sick and

vomiting? It is because some impurities, some toxic substances have entered his

stomach. Wherever there are impurities you will soon find germs or poisons, and

along with them come sickness and diminution of health. For this reason, it is

most important that no impurities enter your system.

The body is carefully arranged to immediately throw up and expel any toxins that

attempt to enter it. When the body reacts naturally by vomiting out the poisons,

it would be incorrect to give medicines to stop that vomiting. If medicine is

given, the toxins will not be thrown up; instead they will remain in the

stomach and soon poison the whole system. Therefore, one should allow all the

impurities to come out and not obstruct them by giving medicine which

suppresses the nausea. After all the impurities have been thrown up, then one

can give some healing medicines.

Once the vomiting and nausea are over, a person will feel very weak. Then he

will do whatever you ask; that is when he will obey you. So this is the best

procedure to follow when someone is vomiting out poison. The same thing applies

whenever someone is very angry and is vomiting out poison, in that form. Let

them do it; do not obstruct them. Whatever they want to say, let them say it as

long as they want to. Until such time as it all comes out, you should remain

peaceful and patient. Why should you subject yourself to a lot of disturbance

and excitement? Instead of becoming upset, your patient attitude will actually

promote feelings of peace and happiness within you. This itself is the

experience of heaven, namely. to maintain your equanimity and compassion under

all circumstances. Why should you deny yourself the joy of such heavenly

feelings?

Patience is a most important quality. Of all the good qualities a person can

have, patience and forbearance rank at the very top. Baba has said a number of

times that forbearance is truth, forbearance is righteousness, forbearance is

nonviolence, forbearance is happiness. Forbearance really is equal in value to

everything that you can find in all the worlds. If a person has forbearance,

then he will be able to acquire all the other important qualities such as mind

control, sense control, renunciation, fortitude, faith and equipoise. All these

make up the state of inner purity.

You use soap and water and powders and perfumes of various kinds to purify

yourself externally. In the same way, you develop these six spiritual treasures

and put them into daily practice in order to purify yourself internally. Inner

purity is extremely important; it is even more important than outer purity. The

Lord is ever present both inside and outside. The entire place where the Lord is

to be found must be purified and sanctified, both inner and outer. Then the

indwelling God will protect you wherever you go.
