One gentleman was a womanizer and an alcoholic. His wife always suffered till the time she was alive. He had twin sons. One became a very saintly successful businessman and one was very poor eventually and alcoholic. Everyone wondered what different destiny they had.
So they both shared their thought processes when asked. One who was successful and was always helping others shared that, he always focused on one thing. He knew what could damage life. So he always focused on one thing that how he could improve his life. He always focused on what good he could do. That is how, he also never got time to hate his father. The second one, hated his father so much that he always wondered how he could give more pain to his father. His father did suffer. His father got his karmic balance. But what happened to the second one? In that anger and frustration, he damaged himself. He became an alcoholic himself. He never got time to focus on his career as he was always busy in giving pain to his father. What his father did was his karma and what he did was his karma. Eventually they both faced their own karma.
People might be bad to us, people might be playing us, they might be manipulating us, but is it worth that we start doing same? We become less human because someone was less human to us? Sometimes, we all start doing bad things saying, others are doing, others have been bad to us. I remember once a gentleman shared that his company does not pay enough salary (We all feel that) and that’s why he takes away stationary. Is it justified?
One lady shared that she knew her maid was lying about her ill health to avoid work and that’s why she cut her salary giving various reasons. Now, if that’s the case then tell her openly. But why to manipulate the situation?
One lady was always scheming against her daughter in law saying her daughter in law is filling up her son against her.
These are everyday scenarios and we need to be watchful. Good or bad, it will always come back. Better we focus on what right we are doing rather than what wrong others are doing.
