Aptavani-9
not get on and she was stranded. When a person is upset and non-communicative (risavu), twelve trains will leave without him. Will the train come and pamper the one who is being upset in this manner? The world will continue to function; it is not going to wait for anyone, is it? If a groom's wedding party is ready to leave and you become upset and non-compliant, are they likely to wait for you a couple of days? No, they will not. That is how the world is.
Questioner: During a wedding one of the paternal uncles who becomes upset and non-communicative (risavu), will send a message that he will only come if someone comes to appease him
Dadashri: Yes, he will come around when the train is ready to leave. He has already experienced that the train will leave without him. The world goes on. Why is one being obstinate needlessly?
If I am being upset and non-compliant (risavu) with a train guard or the engine driver, they will ask me, 'Why are you being confrontational? Please get on the train.' And if I remain stubborn and say, 'I am not going to get on the train.' Will they not just take off? Would the world wait for you? The world will go on. You have to adjust to it otherwise you will be stranded at the station. I have seen cases where the guard blows the whistle and the train leaves without the one who was being difficult!
Questioner: Then he comes to his senses that the train has left and he is the loser
Dadashri: What he believes is 'I did the right thing. 'If however, he realizes that he made a mistake in becoming upset and non-communicative (risavu), then he will not make that mistake again. However, one does not have that much understanding. Man does not have the understanding to see his own loss in this. He does not have that much ability. It requires
a lot of energy (shakti) to do that. Will a person not question his actions and second-guess himself when he misses his scheduled appearance in court that day, after the train has left? Will he not regret his actions? When you get into a confrontation, even if you are right and others are wrong. should you not settle the matter before the train leaves (before it is too late)? Are you not the greatest fool if you hang on to your side of the story even when they tell you, 'Sir, please let go of it now, the other person made a mistake?' Then the guard blows his whistle and the train leaves. This is how the world functions and the fools are left behind sitting on a bench!
Questioner: But then he also finds a few people who affirm his action and behavior by saying he did the right thing
Dadashri: Yes, you will find such people who will say, 'You said the right thing. Can I get you some tea and snacks?' People will take away whatever little money you have left. In the final analysis, there is no joy in this.
If someone were to beat you and push you out of this Dada's train, get back on it from the back door if you have to. Go into the next cabin if they throw you out of this one. If they throw you out of there, then go to the third cabin, then go to the fourth and so on. What is the nature of worldly people? They will remove you from this train, but you should get back into any other cabin and not miss the train.
Who is the loser? When I was young. I used to sulk a little once in a while Even then, I concluded that there is complete loss in it. It is nothing but a business of loss. Therefore, I had decided never to sulk or upset and non-communicative (risavu) again, no matter what others do. So, I stopped getting upset and noncommunicative (risavu) at a young age. I felt there was a huge loss in this.
One day when I behaved that way, I lost my share of milk
