A youth introduced Anil to Swamishri and said, "Anil only speaks when he is spoken to. And while in the mandir, sometimes when he is not called or told off, he feels hurt and tries to reason why it happens to him. He then loses all enthusiasm and decides not to come to the mandir."

Swamishri called Anil and explained, "Don't people have bad members in their family?

Similarly, you will find such people everywhere. You should not take things to heart when someone speaks harshly to you. Always be focussed on God."

Swamishri then placed a garland round Anil's neck and added, "When the President arrives, you go to see him even when you are not invited because you have understood his importance. You go through all the strain and effort to go, even when he does not know you or call you. Likewise, in Satsang, you should not take it to heart when someone does not call you."

Swamishri imparted a sound, practical understanding to overcome feelings of neglect or humiliation.
