Too Good To Be Ignored

In your life, there are so many things that you cannot change. You need to accept them as they are. Just accepting things will take you beyond them. It can be any problem, any difficulty. By

accepting it you go beyond it. You can go beyond so many problems by simply accepting them. Even the people who come to fight with you will suddenly lose the spirit of fighting with you when you accept them. They will think, 'What is the use of fighting with this fellow?'

Understand, if you are too good, you cannot be disrespected. You cannot be ignored. This is the most important sutra (technique). Be too good and you cannot be ignored. You can't be disrespected. The problem is we don't have the patience to be too good.

So you start complaining, 'No Swamiji! This is Kali Yuga (the fourth quarter of Time considered the age of vice). So good people end up suffering and the bad ones live happily.'

Relax! The cosmos is not a sadist. It still runs as per dharma (righteousness). There is no Kali Yuga. Kali Yuga is nothing but your mind. Kali Yuga is nothing but your ego. Kali Yuga is nothing but your impatience to look into the truth.

We are actually happy about our suffering in a way because it makes our ego feel good. Our ego feels we are shouldering a lot of problems. That is why we continue to suffer. But we feel guilty about it. So what do we do? We start blaming the whole world. We say that God punishes all good people and allows all bad people to enjoy life.
