First,
have unshakeable faith that can stand the ridicule of the
ignorant, worldly and the low-minded. When someone
ridicules you, reflect within yourself - Are they
ridiculing my body or soul? If they are ridiculing my body,
they are helping me develop detachment! Ridiculing the soul
is impossible, for, the Atma is beyond praise or
blame, words or thoughts. Then repeat to yourself, “I
am the Eternal Self, Pure and Immovable (Nirmala,
Nischala) and so I must transcend this feeling.”
Secondly, do not worry about ups and downs, loss or gain,
joy or grief. You are the creator of your own destiny. You
crave for something - when you get it, you feel joyful! If
you don’t get it, you are in despair. Cut the craving
off, and there will be no more swings between joy and
grief. Finally, be convinced in the Omnipresence of
Divinity.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
