Handling Harassment

Shiv Shankar Daily's photo.

Handling Harassment
You have to see the situation and respond accordingly. If someone is constantly bothering you, then either you move away from there, or you confront that person. I will not advise you to bear someone’s harassment forever. Try to change the situation with intelligence, with tact, with strength and with love. You cannot do this only with power. If someone says that ‘I will change the situation only using physical power, it is not possible. There is a need for tact and intelligent action also. Love can melt even the hardest stones. With love you can bring the change.
==========================
Q: We have heard that Navratri is the triumph of Sattva over Rajas and Tamas. But are not all the three Gunas equally important for life to exist? How can we favour one over the other?
Guruji: No, it is always like that. One of the three will dominate. Sattva is always there in everybody, and so is Rajas and Tamas. All the three Gunas always exist together. But what dominates is what makes the difference. If Tamo guna dominates, there is misery. When Rajoguna dominates, there are conflicts. When Satguna dominates, there is awareness, knowledge and happiness. You should observe which is dominating, since that is what gives quality to that time.
==========================
Q: What is the difference between Guru, God and the soul?
+Guruji: Guru is knowledge, Guru is love. Guru is light, there is no difference between Guru, God and the Soul.
==========================
If you find you have some sins, give it to me, I will take care of it. Don’t worry about it. You give me your past and I will take responsibility of your past. You have nothing to do about it. You are relieved of your past. Forget about it. Move on to the future. The future is on a platter for you, fresh; so drop your past coat here.
==========================
Secret of Influence
Wanting to influence is itself a problem. What do you get by influencing people around you? You don't know one secret: if you influence somebody, or make a big impression on them, they become jealous of you. And then, they try to pull you down. Or they don't care and they make fun of you. In either case, what do you gain? More problems.
Just be your natural self. Simplicity, honesty, contentment, creativity - these will influence all the people around you.
Om Namah Shivay
