Narration

Original
How can we correct ourselves, especially when we feel low, when we feel anger and when our mind wavers? Bhagawan lovingly guides us today.
All that you see outside is a reflection of the inner being. Good and bad do not exist outside; they are mere reflections of what is within you. No one has the right to judge others. Give up all that is bad in you and you will find goodness all around. As the colour of glasses you put on, so is the colour of the world you visualise. The defect lies in your vision, not in the creation. Heart is the dwelling place of God. So, only noble feelings should emerge out of it. If there are any evil qualities like lust, greed, and anger in it, then it ceases to be a human heart. It is verily the heart of an animal. If your conduct is devoid of humanness, then you are not a human being. Act in a manner that befits your human birth. When you are angry, remind yourself, “I am not a dog, I am man.” When your mind wavers, tell yourself repeatedly, “I am not a monkey, I am man.” Patiently think about your real nature. Never act in haste. Haste makes waste. Waste makes worry. So, do not be in a hurry. Take time and think calmly. All these evil qualities can be eliminated by developing good thoughts and feelings. The remedy for all your mental ailments lies within you!
- Divine Discourse, Nov 18, 1999.

When divine feelings do not surge in the heart, Man becomes infected with two flaws. He conceals his countless blunders, and He criticises even minor mistakes of others. – BABA
