bhindemahesh Guestbook![]() If we gossip about other people, if we are inconsiderate of other people, we have to expect a similar treatment. There is a saying that ‘a thief looks upon everyone else as a thief, a Saint looks upon everyone else as a Saint’. If we concentrate on other people’s bad qualities, we actually strengthen these qualities in our own self. But, if we focus on the good qualities of others we make these part of ourself. The real secret of happiness lies in how we treat other people. If we can be tolerant of others weakness’, we strengthen ourself and receive the appreciation of others. Kindness to others is a very simple act, but, it can make a big difference to developing good relationships. The key is that the kindness should be unconditional, we should not just be positive to others in the hope of getting something back. In essence we cannot fail to live the golden rule and “treat others as you would have them treat you.” ![]() Variety in Upadesh -- Slanderer Condemned Sai Baba required no special place, nor any special time for giving instructions. Whenever any occasion demanded, He gave them freely. Once it so happened that a Bhakta of Baba, reviled another behind his back, before other people. On leaving aside merits, he dwelt on the faults of his brother, and spoke so sarcastically, that the hearers were disgusted. Generally, we see that people have a tendency to scandalize others, un-necessarily; and this brings on hatred and ill-will. Saints see scandal, in another light. They say that there are various ways of cleansing or removing dirt, viz. by means of earth, water and soap etc., but a scandal-monger has got a way of his own. He removes the dirt (faults) of others by his tongue; so in a way of obliges the person, whom he reviles and for this he is to be thanked. Sai Baba had his own method of correcting the scandal-monger. He knew by his omniscience what the slanderer had done and when He met him at noon near the Lendi, Baba pointed out to him a pig that was eating filth near the fence and said to him - "Behold how, with what relish it is gorging dung. Your conduct is similar. You go on reviling your own brethren to your heart's content. After performing many deeds of merit, you are born a man, and if you act like this, will Shirdi help you in any way?" Needless to say, that the Bhakta took the lesson to his heart, and went away. ![]() “ℓιfє ιѕ αи σρρσятυиιту, вєиєfιт fяσм ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ вєαυту, α∂мιяє ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ a ∂яєαм, яєαℓιzє ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ a ¢нαℓℓєиgє, мєєт ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ α ∂υту, ¢σмρℓєтє ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ α gαмє, ρℓαу ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ α ρяσмιѕє, fυℓfιℓℓ ιт. ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ ѕσяяσω, σνєя¢σмє ιт. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ℓιfє ιѕ ℓυ¢к, мαкє ιт. ![]() ![]() ![]() | |
