life without Conflict
Wherever you live as a guest, you should not trouble the host. Everything I need comes my way, all I have to do is think about it, and it comes. If things do not come my way, I have no problems. I am a guest of nature. If nature does not will something for you, know that it is in your best interest and when it does, that too is in your best interest. If things were in your control, what would happen if your beard were to grow only on half of your face? If the control were in your hands, you would make a mess of everything. The control is in the hands of nature. Nature never makes any mistakes. Everything is in exact order. Take your teeth for example; each have different functions. You have teeth for chewing, teeth for cutting, teeth for grinding. Just look at how wonderful everything is. Upon your birth you are given the whole body, hands, feet, nose, ears, and eyes. You get everything. And when you put your hands in your mouth, you find no teeth! Did nature a mistake there? No. Nature knows that a baby needs to drink milk the moment it is born. Babies cannot digest any food except milk. The baby has to drink its mother's milk and if the baby were to have teeth, it would bite the mother! Just look at the wonder of nature's arrangements. Teeth will begin to erupt, as the baby needs them. First come the four front teeth, the rest come in gradually. And in old age when the teeth are gone, no new ones will grow in their place.

Nature gives protection from all sides; it takes care of you as if you are a king. But what can anyone do when the unfortunate foolish one not know how to live life?

After an evening meal, you fall asleep and start snoring. Why don't you investigate what goes on inside the body and

how it works? There you will say, 'What can I do?' What is nature? Nature is that you have digestive enzymes and juices in the stomach for the digestion process. When you wake up in the morning, the urine is in its place, the blood is where it needs to be and the excrement is in its correct place. How beautiful is this systematic arrangement of nature. Nature performs a monumental task inside your body. If a doctor were put in charge of a person's digestion, he will kill that person. Nature has such perfect control over the production of the digestive juices, that they will last till you die, whereas if a doctor were given the responsibility over the digestive juices, he will release too much one day and not enough the next.

Nature has such beautiful play in its hands and in your hands you have your business, but really speaking it is not truly in your hands; you do not have control over it, you simply believe you do and consequently you fret and worry needlessly. Sitting in a taxi from Dadar to Central, the passenger develops anxieties and suffers upon the thoughts, 'What if there is an accident?" No one is going to crash with you. All you have to do is to exercise reasonable caution and proceed, in all matters of life. Your only responsibility is to look in front and walk, that is all. In reality, even that is not your responsibility. Nature will make you do even that. But instead people not only inattentive to what is ahead of them, they interfere in the process, exercise their ego, 'I am doing all this.' Nature is beautiful. If within you there runs a factory, which is so complex, don't you think that everything on the outside will run smoothly also? Nothing on the outside needs to be controlled. What do you think needs to be controlled?
Questioner: If someone does something wrong, that too is not under his control?
