Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 " Tolerance and sympathy are essential. Only then can man be enlightened. What is the use of having tolerance if you do not practice it in the right way? Upon the demise of someone in a house, people comfort the bereaved by asking questions about the deceased. But such questions give only temporary relief. But if you tell them the truth that everyone has to face death, they think you are harsh. If you speak pleasingly, they think you are gentle. When people report to Me about death and disease, I say, "Very happy". A man was angered by this and asked me, " You say You are happy when I am dying?Death is inevitable. If not today, it will come some day or the other! Truth grants real happiness, so I speak the truth!" When I replied thus, he was pacified. - From Swami's 2000 Dasara Discourses Om Sai Ram Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Invite them now.
