17. Don't act out of agitation🔗

Listen: your anger, your agitation, your restlessness - these are also patterns. These are also incompletions. How many of you cognize that many a time, just because you are unable to tolerate the agitation, you make a certain decision even though you know it is not the solution for the problem? You make a decision just because you have to do something to release the agitation inside you. When you understand your conflicting patterns, when you complete with your conflicting patterns, the source of the problems melts away; the source itself melts away.

A story for you: A businessman makes a call to his home. An unfamiliar male voice answers the phone. The businessman asks, 'Who is this?' The person at the other end says, 'I am the new servant.' The businessman says, 'I want to speak to Madam.' The servant says, 'Sir, she is in the bedroom with her husband.' The businessman shouts angrily, 'What? I am her husband!' The servant asks, 'Oh! Now what should I do, sir?' The businessman says, 'Go to the study room; there is a cabinet there. I have kept my gun in one of the drawers. Take it and kill them both! Then come and tell me, I will be on the line.' The servant does the job and returns. He asks, 'What should I do with the bodies, sir?' The businessman says, 'Dump them in our swimming pool.' The servant says, 'Pool..? But there is no pool in the house, sir!' The businessman exclaims, 'What?! No swimming pool?' The servant replies, 'No, sir!' The businessman says, 'Oops! Wrong number..!'
