________________ You cannot love him when he insults you, can you? You cannot love insults as much as respect, can you? Can a person like losses as much as he likes profits? Education and wisdom What would you do if someone were to insult you? What 'we' are saying is where you do not have any authority and the power to change anything satta, you simply have to say 'I like it.' What do you have to do when you have no energy shakti or control? If you say 'I do not like it, it will gnaw away at you from within. It will eat away at you all nightlong, do you understand? Has this ever happened to you? Questioner: It will bite and bother me the whole night long; it is like I have been whacked and beaten! Dadashri: Alas! Just look at the way people spend their days! Education is bhanatar. Reasoning ability, wisdom is ganatar. Educated people will reduce these externally induced difficulties and pains upadhi. If they can, they will completely get rid of their difficulties upadhis; they will leave nothing pending. But if a person is not able to do anything, he becomes entangled gooncha. Educated people who do not have a reasoning energy ganatar will get entangled; they have education bhanatar but they do not have the wisdom of reasoning ganatar. Reasoning is a different thing. I have not learnt education bhanatar but I did learn very good reasoning ganatar. I failed my matric grade but I have a tremendous reasoning energy and wisdom ganatar. Pratikraman for the attack Questioner: What should one do when we one not like being insulted? Dadashri: No problem with that, but you do not attack hoomlo the person who insults you, do you? Attacking speech does come out, the attack is done Questioner: through words. Dadashri: But that is not your inner intent bhaav, is it?
