When someone blames you, you feel a heavy load, and when you talk about it, the unpleasant feeling is spread to all around you. At that moment wake up and see you are the Being and nothing can touch you. This is all just a drama which you have created. You have gone through this over and over again. All the accusations you face in your life are your own creation. Knowing this, you will feel free and light.
Taking responsibility for all the experiences in life makes you powerful and will put an end to grumbling, retribution, explanations and a host of other negative tendencies. Taking full responsibility makes you free.
When someone blames you, directly or indirectly, what do you do?
- Do you register it in your mind and get emotionally upset?
- Do you dismiss it altogether without taking a lesson from it?
- Do you talk about it with people, wasting everyone’s time?
- Do you pity yourself and blame your shortcomings?
- Do you blame the other person?
- Do you generalize and eternalize the problem?
When these happen, you are not living up to this knowledge. You need to do the Art of Living introductory course at least six times and read all the weekly knowledge.
However, if you:
- Laugh at it and not even take notice,
- Treat it as a non-event, not even worth talking about or taking any action,
- Treat opinions and accusations as passing clouds and more of an entertainment,
- Discourage dwelling on unpleasant and negative moments,
- Are non-judgmental and absolutely unshaken in your space of love,
- Remain centered and calm, and do not take pride in your growth or wisdom,
