“This body is home to many diseases, just as this world is home to sorrow and unhappiness. Just as people are likely to come to stay at one’s home, one is likely to get sick and to have to deal with difficulties. It is natural. Shri Rama, Shri Krishna, Shastriji Maharaj, Yogiji Maharaj and great devotees such as Mirabai and Narsinh Mehta have had to face and tolerate difficulties. If one lives with understanding and wisdom, obstacles do not feel like obstacles. One who has this understanding experiences happiness even in troubled times.”

“Keep tolerating. There is no end to it. You have to respect and love even those that offend you. Look at Yogiji Maharaj’s life. He endured till his very last breath. If you tolerate their mistakes and insults, one day they will realize their mistakes. You can change them without saying a word! One who remains silent achieves all. Confronting the individual may cause more conflict. Be patient and humble. You will never be able teach him a lesson. Tolerating will change them. Tolerate till the very end.”
