Saying of Swamishri

We should be smaller than the smallest

 

Once we have come into Satsang and developed understanding, then we don’t need to think that ‘I’ve been honoured or I’ve been insulted’. Such incidents will occur whilst we are trying to please God and our guru. But if they are pleased by us having to endure such incidents, we should be pleased with it and just keep on going forward. Then we won’t have any problems.
Didn’t Yogi Bãpã often say?  ‘Nãne se ho nãnã rahiye...’ [We should be smaller than the smallest].
If we become like this, we will never be affected by honour or insult. Gunãtitãnand Swãmi tells us, ‘In this Satsang, we should think that everyone understands and only I don’t understand.’ We should see everyone as bigger than us and that we ourselves are smaller than everyone. If we can truly believe this, then we will never be affected by honours or insults in our lives.
However, when a worldly, ignorant man does something to us we should presume that he doesn’t understand and so there is no point in getting upset about it. We don’t need to worry that he said this or he did that. They are ignorant people, let them say, or write, or do as they please. And we’ll go our own way. By keeping such thoughts in our mind we won’t have any problems.
