What should we do when someone insults us?
Pujya Maharaj Ji's short discourse. To hear it in full, watch the video above.
Complete Discourse
You are cheated, deceived, insulted, slandered or humiliated, bear it. If you have done no harm to anyone on the path of devotion with a pure heart, then God's grace will fall upon you, and you will attain that supreme truth which is not obtained through rupees and paise. All of this is going to be left behind here anyway. So become a person of good thoughts, become patient. We have to look at our own faults. Believe me. On the spiritual path, the other person is doing wrong to us, that is 100% visible. Now we have to see within ourselves whether what they are saying is true or not.
If it is not true, then we should be pleased. The question of anger does not arise. In spirituality, no question arises. Anger should be shown only towards one who is your son or your disciple. You look at his faults, and it is to save your son or disciple from those faults that anger is displayed. A son or disciple has the right to have his faults pointed out. If you do not point out faults in him, then what kind of guru are you? If you did not make your son virtuous by pointing out his faults, then what kind of father are you? That is why the teacher, the guru, the son and the father are each given the authority to look at the faults of their own people, to see whether there is any fault.
Otherwise, do not look at the faults of other people. If someone else is even abusing you, prostrate to them. But if one is a disciple, a son, or one of our own family, and there is some shortcoming in him, then we look at his faults in order to remove them. We reveal those faults openly. We express displeasure, that such faults should not be there. Such a mistake is a sign of belonging, this is love
