Our problem is that we are simply not willing
to understand the design of Nature. Nature’s design is such that here, apart
from himself, a human being has no control over anyone else. But without
understanding this truth, we try to exert control over everything from people
to situations. As a result, our sorrows and tensions keep aggravating. Instead,
if we try to control ourselves then almost overnight, we would find solutions to
most of our problems.
Suppose someone is insulting you, then you
try to be one upon him. Considering this to be his victory, he is now bent on
heaping double the humiliation on you. You get infuriated, sad and displeased.
Now, this rage, sorrow and displeasureare baseless. You can safeguard
yourselves by simply exerting self-control. You can surely explain to yourself
that he is senseless and foolish. Why do you even need to take his words or behaviour
seriously? In this way you can escape from this impending unhappiness and
anger.
And this is the case with not just a couple but
almost all the situations. You can exert control only on yourself and
understanding this truth,you have to accordingly adjust only yourself. And it
is mandatory for you to do so, because by not doing so it is only you who has
to suffer unhappiness and difficulties.
