characteristics, tendencies etc.) in our time, so how can you get along without adjusting ?
DO NOT INTERFERE, JUST ADJUST
away from it. Do not eat it if you do not want it. The older folks keep on resenting it. All these differences in opinion are because of the changing times. These youngsters act according to the times. Moha is the insatiable desire, which arises for new and original things as they come into existence. From my early childhood, I enquired deeply whether this world was going in the right or the wrong direction. I found that no one has the power to change this world, and therefore one must adjust according to the times. If your son comes home wearing a new kind of hat, don't ask him in an irritated tone, "Where did you get that?" Instead, just adjust and ask kindly, "Son where did you get your nice new hat? Was it very expensive?" This is how you should adjust.
Life is changing constantly. Therefore, one has to adjust to these changes. The elders cling to their old-fashioned ways. They need to adjust with the times or else they will die suffering. You must make adjustments according to the times you live in. I adjust with everyone, even a thief or a pickpocket. A thief will sense that I am compassionate in the way I speak to him. I do not tell him that he is wrong. He is simply acting according to his viewpoint. People, in general are likely to hurl abuse at the thief and label him as a worthless being.

The lawyers claim their own fraud to be the truth. How can you trust such people? Despite this they manage to survive don't they? I never tell anyone that they are wrong. They are correct by their viewpoint. I would explain the facts and inform them about the consequences of their misdeeds.
Our religion declares that you must see convenience in inconvenience. For example, it occurred to me one night that the bed sheet was dirty so I made an adjustment in my mind that it was very soft. It then began to feel very comfortable to me. It is the knowledge that we acquire through the fives senses that makes us perceive inconvenience.
ADJUSTMENT WITH DISAGREEABLE PEOPLE
When old people enter a house they typically start making all sorts of comments and criticize things like their stereos, etc. They are so meddlesome and interfering. Why not try to be friendly with the younger generation? Times are changing so how do they expect the younger generation to live without these amenities? When they see something new, they simply desire it. If there is nothing new, then what will they live for. New things like these come and go. You do not have to interfere with them. If it does not suit you then you do not have to use it. This ice cream does not tell you to run
When a sewer is giving off a stench, do we complain? In the same token all these people who are disagreeable and negative are like the sewers. Whatever smells unpleasant, we call a sewer and whatever smells pleasant we call a flower. Adjust to both. They are both saying, "Become Vitraag (beyond attachment and abhorrence or detached) with us."
You suffer because of your opinions of good and bad. You must keep them in check. When we say something is good, other things by comparison become bad and begin to bother us. If we rise above opinions, good or bad, there is no
