And what do people generally do? Once they get burnt, they stop welding and start driving a wedge between the two. This way at least they maintain their importance and imression rof.
Many people will not cause a rift between two people but where a rift exists between two people, they would not help mend it either and all because of their own self-importance rof. There are also people who will create rifts between people, but these are few in numbers. Some will not help mend the rift because it works out to their advantage. Only a few would make the mistakes that I made! But I used to patch things up everywhere, not just in certain instances because my desire was to fix and not destroy.

And if you try to do this kind of welding, you will always take a beating. In this world, only the one doing the welding will take a beating. And in the end he is filled with dispassion, 'I did it all for their happiness but even then I end up with all the beating!' I have taken so much beating, I have paid a tremendous price in this process.
Do not let your bhaav turn into abhaav
Questioner: Welding was in my prakruti from the very beginning but I stopped after I got a beating.
