Questioner: Dada, in clashes that occur due to differing
viewpoints, generally the older person finds fault with the younger one, the younger one finds faults with those
younger to him; why is that?
Dadashri: It is like this, the older one ‘gobbles up’ the younger one. Meaning that the older one finds fault with the younger one. Instead, you should say, “It is indeed my mistake.” If you take the blame of the mistake on yourself, then it will get solved. What do ‘we’ do? If the other person does not have the tolerance capacity, then ‘we’ take it upon ‘our’ self; ‘we’ do not blame others. Why would ‘we’ blame others? ‘We’ have a stomach as large as the ocean! Just look, doesn’t the ocean take in the water from all the sewers of Mumbai? In the same way, we too should be able to take it all in. The result of this will be that it will have a profound influence on these children and others. They too will learn from that. Even the children will notice that, ‘His stomach is as big as the ocean!’ However much that comes you way, deposit it. The law in worldly interaction is that the person who insults, leaves you after giving away his own energy. Therefore, accept the insult with a joyful face!
