GREETINGS

Swamiji:

Say someone thinks something about you and talks badly about you. But you never hear it or know about it. Does it bother you? It bothers you when you hear about it. So it became a problem when you imbibed that negativity into your awareness. There is a joke about people who are too concerned about other people’s opinions-” BIRTH…..,WHAT WILL OTHERS THINK….., DEATH”, meaning they don’t really live between birth and death. If you don’t take control of your life, others will take control by manipulating you in their way. Everyday in the morning meditate on the thought, “it is my life and my responsibility. Whether it is good or bad, should be decided by me only”. There is no one in the world who made everyone around him happy no matter how he/ she lived. But at least one person should be happy by what you do, and that is you !! Hari Om.
