When you get the worst of the lot, be grateful

 

Suppose the worst of the world is given to you; what would you do with it? You cannot complain if you get the worst. You can only complain if you do not get the worst. 

If the world is at its worst, then it can only get better and you are here to make it better. 

What happens when you have to do it all by yourself, when no one helps? Your options are to be frustrated and complain; to take credit that you did it by yourself and thank others for not helping so that you could take all the credit. To be grateful, pray deeply, and know that you got all the strength needed to do it alone.

Know that there is only one doer.

Belongingness changes your perspective

 

Whether you win or lose an argument with your Guru, your Master, you still laugh. 

Normally what happens to you when you lose an argument? You are sad and upset, hurt and angry. But when you lose or win an argument with me, you are still happy. Why? 

Because you have a total sense of belongingness; your love is more important than perfection, comfort and desires; you are able to put your Being before a happening; and you have confidence in the ultimate good. 

When there is a total sense of belongingness, real play happens. Winning or losing is irrelevant. Can you have this same attitude with everyone?
