Remove sorrow through tolerance and contentment

[Guest guest]

Remove sorrow through tolerance and contentmentAsk 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'tspeak things that will hurt the heart of

anyone. If someone gets angry, payattention to remaining peaceful yourself. You

can't tell them anything atthat time because they will get more upset.About 20

years ago we made the slogan 'Speak slowly, speak softly, speaklittle'. Can add

to that 'Speak honestly'. Many have thehabit of speaking bitter words. It seems

to be very easy for them to speakharshly and hurt others. They say, 'Well, it

is just the way I speak. Mytone is like that'. They say they didn't have any

bad intention, that isjust the way they speak. They justify themselves in this

way. In this waythey continue to break people's hearts. They break someone's

heart and thatperson worries about it while they themselves don't

worry at all. They justforget about it. We have to train ourselves to speak

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

themhappiness or sorrow. My concern should be to speak such words that Ireceive

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 thetime for transformation

will teach themselves.Now learn not to see anyone else; I have to change

myself. Actually, who arethe ones who will change themselves for the better?

Three things arevisible in a person who wants to change; firstly, they don't

want to seeothers. 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 isGod. A yukti for this is that if

you help remove the sorrow of others, Godwill automatically remove your sorrow.

In fact, it is a very deepphilosophy that if I don't take sorrow I won't give

sorrow. Whateverhappens, don't take sorrow from it. Think about it; what is the

time thatyou have spent taking sorrow like? Finish this habit of

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

tolerance andcontentment. Just think 'I am content. I don't need anything.

Wherever Iam, 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

haveGod'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

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

anywhereelse, thinking: I need this, I want that.The second virtue is

tolerance. Whatever anyone says is ok. I don't need toworry about it. When

tolerance is lacking the soul becomes

sensitive. Ifsomeone says something tears start to flow. Even if nobody says

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

thatyou are tolerating means to experience sorrow. To really tolerate meansthat

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

make people very unhappy inside are imagination andmisunderstanding. You

misunderstand and start to imagine. Because of thesetwo things the soul becomes

dry and wilts. Where there is love and honestythere is happiness. Even though a

house may be full of everything, if thereis not honesty and love the people

living there start to use theirimaginations. The result of this is that they

are always scared; they startto worry about what others are saying about them

and they worry about whatto say to each other.People come to meet and sometimes

they relate something and startcrying. 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 facewith a handkerchief and give them the hanky. The

cause of much of thissorrow is that they actually don't love themselves. They

also don't reallylove others. Thirdly, they have a lot of expectations. They

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

don't havethat'. Let go of such thoughts now because they will never allow you

to bereally happy.
