Lose Not Your Heart -2

If we suppress others, then perhaps we may progress indirectly. Just because certain people act against us, by back-biting or finding fault with us or insulting us, should not lead us to think that they are responsible for out failures. This is a mistaken belief.
When old painful memories flood the mind, the best thing to do is to forget them or ignore them, it is essential to forget unpleasant memories and remember pleasant events in their place. If you wish to be physically, emotionally and behaviorally healthy, then forget those events that disturb your emotional equilibrium.
Agreed that one of your "own" persons has made you miserable, and then will you go on continuously remembering it and be in continuous confusion? Dear friend, forget the whole experience, ignore it and involve your mind in some good work. The best solution for freedom from worry is to forget one's misery.
Instead of being under the spell of happiness and unhappiness, establish your mastery over them. This will enable you to get the best out of your experiences and make your life and living mature and more interesting. It is duty of every man to uplift his mental qualities and ennoble his life and therefore you should also fulfill this task by adopting the proper path.
If you do not desire only favorable circumstances and if you are not afraid of difficulties, then you can achieve a lot. Always learn from whatever you achieve and thus enrich your lives, thereby the circumstances which you perceive as obstacles will start appearing favorable because you have learnt to face them and your unhappiness will start dissolving.
Many people lament by saying "nobody listens to me, I am repeatedly saying such and such a thing and aim tired of it, but it has absolutely no effect." According to me the fault lies more with the person who gives instructions than the one receiving them. The man who gives orders, he himself does not have the knowledge about the method of working. Such people should first discover their own faults by introspection. This exercise will reveal their terrible lack of knowledge. When you know how to carry out the work, your instruction will bear the ring of conviction, and hence bear fruit. You may not speak, or speak a little, but involve yourself in the work. Your work will "speak" and in a few days people will be attracted towards you without invitation. Therefore speak less; work more, because the effect of speech lasts for a second whereas the influence of your work is everlasting.
Adventure beckons you. The power to carry out the work connected with the moral responsibilities of the current era beckons you. One cannot afford to ignore this clarion call. Let us welcome the thorny path towards self development and creation of a new world and undoubtedly we shall progress. Why worry about what others say and do? Our conscience itself is enough for guidance in this great task. Others roam in the dark, let them do so. We shall depend on the light of moral guidance and proceed. Why worry about who will support us and who will oppose? Our conscience and moral courage is with us. We shall do only that which is but proper to be done by alert and enlightened persons like us.
The position of the so called reformers is really laughable. They shout from rooftops about bringing in reforms in the religious, spiritual, social and political spheres. But one can clearly see the glaring difference between their speech and action in these fields. In such a situation the hope for a bright future becomes even dimmer.
Are we supposed to sit with folded hands by simply waiting for a bright future? Shall we just believe that we are helpless and not capable, and hope for others to change the situation? This should not be when we are already aware that the potential of man is capable of rising to great heights.
The typhoon-like forces of greed, self importance, fame, success and tension of the rat-race are so powerful that they impel a man to go to great lengths and can flying him anywhere. Generally speaking ordinary people and those lacking spiritually are swept away by these forces. Many such people believing in only some "ism" have strayed in their lives and reached nowhere.
