________________ Adjust Everywhere Adjust Everywhere collided with you, but if you collide with him, then it just goes to prove that you too are blind. I am asking you to understand these differences in the nature of human beings. DIFFERENT COLORS AND FRAGRANCES OF FLOWERS IN A GARDEN Dadashri : It's like this: prakriti does not change. It has its own qualities. It remains the same. I know and understand each and every prakriti. I recognize it right away so therefore I interact with people according to their prakriti. If you seek to enjoy the sun at noon in midsummer, you will suffer. The winter sun is not as harsh. Once you know the prakriti of the sun, you can make adjustment for your purpose. I understand prakriti, so even if you seek to clash with me, I will avoid it. I will not let it happen. Otherwise, both will suffer in the collision. Therefore, recognize the prakriti of everyone in the home. In this Kaliyug, prakritis are not homogenous like a crop, but they exist in the form of a garden, where one is a lily, one a rose or one a jasmine. All these flowers are fighting, and that is why there are perpetual arguments. THE MAGIC OF COUNTER-PULLEY Your home is a garden. During the times of Satyug, Dwapar and Tretayug, homes were like farms. Some farms had roses only while others only had lilies. Nowadays, homes have become a garden; you find different varieties of flowers. No plants are the same. Should we not examine whether a flower is a rose or a jasmine? In Satyug, if in a household one was a rose, then all the rest were roses, and if in another home one was a jasmine, then all were jasmines. If everyone in a home were a rose, as in a farm, it would not matter. But nowadays these homes have become gardens, where one is a rose and another is a jasmine. The rose complains, "Why are you not like me? Look at how white you are and look at my pretty color." The jasmine will reply, "You are full of thorns." If it is a rose, then of course it will have thorns and if it is a jasmine, of course it will be white. In this time of Kaliyug, the plants in every household are so diverse that the house has become a garden. One does not see this and so it leads to misery. The world does not have this view. No one is bad. These differences of opinion are because of egoism. I do not have ego, so I have no conflict with the world. I can see that this is a rose, this is a jasmine, this is a moonflower and this is the flower of a bitter gourd. I recognize all these. These gardens should be appreciated. What do you think? Questioner : You are right. You should not express your opinion first. Ask the other person what he thinks about the matter at hand. If the other person adheres to his viewpoint, then you should let go of your opinion. All you need to make sure of is that the other person does not get hurt in any way. Do not attempt to push your opinion upon others. Accept the other person's viewpoint. I have accepted everyone's opinion and have become a Gnani. I never push my opinion on others. No one should be hurt by your opinion. If your mental revolutions are at a speed of 1800 rpm and the other person's revolutions are at 600 and you try to force your opinion on that person, his engine will break down and all the gears will have to be replaced.
