anyone even when others hurt him. Not only that, he will not wish them ill. On the contrary, he will bless the person who hurts him.
In the service to the Self, even when a person yells abusively at you, you will not be affected. You simply have to 'see what you are doing. The other person may continue to talk like a radio, but You simply have to see that the radio is blaring
Questioner: When everyone around us hurts us, it becomes unbearable. I cannot tolerate it even when people at home insult me slightly, so then what should I do?
Dadashri: Then what else can you do? If you do not live in this way, (following Dadashri's instructions) then how else will you live? Tell me that much.
