00:00:01,900 --> 00:00:05,300
When one begins to consider how
the faults, we find in others
2
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:10,300
are those to, which we ourselves
are susceptible, and that we see
3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:13,700
them through the focus and
Affinity that we have to them,
4
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,900
as the synchronicity of the
universe, brings forward to us.
5
00:00:17,900 --> 00:00:21,600
Those very things that we are
naturally, attracting.
6
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:26,200
It becomes clear that these
events become an opportunity for
7
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,500
inner work to change oneself.
By doing this, we overcome the
8
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:34,800
urge to castigate others or
upgrade them for their very
9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,000
behavior that we ourselves
remain capable of doing.
10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,600
This, is the basis of serious
progress in the individual
11
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,600
sadhna and helps to focus and
control the energy in such a way
12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,900
that it works towards growth and
development rather than being
13
00:00:52,900 --> 00:00:57,900
wasted in useless.
Negativity, the mother writes
14
00:00:57,900 --> 00:01:02,600
quote, Try to experience this,
it will greatly help you to
15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,400
change yourselves at the same
time, it will bring a sunny
16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,500
tolerance to your relationships
with others the Goodwill which
17
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:14,600
comes from understanding and it
will very often put an end to
18
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:20,000
these completely useless corals
one can live without quarreling.
19
00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,800
It seems strange to say this
because as things are it would
20
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,900
seem on the contrary that life
is made for quarrelling.
21
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,000
In the sense that the main
occupation of people who are
22
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,500
together is to quarrel overtly
or covertly, you do not always
23
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:41,200
come to words.
You do not always come to blows
24
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,800
fortunately, but you are in a
state of Perpetual irritation
25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,600
within because you do not find
around you, the Perfection that
26
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,200
you would yourself wish to
realize and which you find
27
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,800
rather difficult to realize but
you find it entirely natural
28
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,300
that Others should realize it.
How can they be like that?
29
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,900
You forget how difficult you
find it in yourself.
30
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:13,000
Not to be like that.
Try you will see look upon
31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,900
everything with a benevolent,
smile.
32
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:18,900
Take all the things which
irritate you as a lesson for
33
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:23,000
yourself and your life will be
more peaceful and more effective
34
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,300
as well for a great percentage
of your energy.
35
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:29,500
Certainly goes to waste in the
irritation.
36
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:34,000
You feel when you do not find in
others the Perfection that you
37
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:39,300
would like to realize in
yourself and quote, reference
