How can I build trust again when I only see things are not going my way?
Question - Gurudev, how can I build trust again when I only see things are not going my way?
Gurudev Sri Sri - See life from a bigger picture. How many of you think that you are going to be here forever? How many of you are thinking that you are going to be here for the next 30 years, raise your hands. How many of you are thinking that you are going to be here for more than 50 years, raise your hands. And how many of you are going to be here for the next hundred years? We don't see life from a bigger perspective. My dear, you are not going to be here forever, just remember. But all of this is going to be there, Malaysia will be there, Kuala Lumpur will be there, but you won't be here. This was here even before you. You will be here for the next 30-40 years, then what, where will you be? What is life? Who are you? These questions should arise in you and when they do, that shows that our intellect is maturing. Are you with me? Do all of you agree with what I am saying? So when we see life from a broader perspective then small, insignificant things fall off, all that little quarrel, worries, what that person said, what this person said, it all falls away. So what if somebody insulted you, so what. The person who has insulted you will no longer be here. Everybody will pack-up, they won't even pack up, they will simply go. There is nothing to pack here. On your journey you at least have to pack your luggage, but here you will simply disappear one day, that is it. See this temporary phase of life from a broader perspective. When you see life in a broader picture something will shift from within you, you will wake up and see, 'Oh wow, what am I worried for. Just turn back and see, ten years back you were worried and you are still here now. 5 years back you were worrying over nothing, you are still present now, alive. How much time you have wasted in judgments, worries and in unproductive thinking, yes or no? Yes, we should learn from our own experiences. How much time we waste in complaining and all our life energy gets drained and diseases come. Blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, etc all of these are a result of unproductive and negative feeling.
