What do you do when someone behaves very rudely to you?
1. Get upset
2. React rudely back
3. Get frustrated
4. Run-away from and avoid the person or the situation
5. Blame the person
6. Preach to the person
None of these will in any way strengthen you.
Then what are the options? See rude behavior in this light:
1. It indicates the intensity of their commitment
2. It indicates the amount of stress and insensitivity
3. It projects the up-bringing of the person
4. It indicates a behavioral pattern
5. It shows lack of knowledge
6. It shows lack of observation of one's own mind and its sensations
7. It shows you behavior to avoid
8. It is an opportunity for you to welcome and absorb the rudeness
9. It strengthens your mind
10. It unconditions the love that you are
The next time when someone is rude to you, make sure you don't get
upset. Just give back a broad smile.
If you can digest the rudeness, nothing whatsoever can shake you.
Window Shutters....
To the degree that you are awake, everything around you brings you
knowledge. If you are not awake, then even the most precious knowledge
does not make any sense.
(Suddenly there was much noise from outside and Kiran went to shut the
window.)
Sri Sri: Awareness depends upon your ability to shut your windows. When
there is a storm you need to shut your windows, otherwise you will get
wet.
When it is hot and suffocating inside, you need to open your windows.
Your senses are like the windows. When you have the ability to open and
shut your windows at your will then you are free and you are awake. When
your windows cannot be shut or opened, you are bound.
Attending to that is sadhana or practice.
