He was full of hatred for his to be divorced wife. He wanted her to suffer. Because he suffered a lot for three years. She had an affair and she accused him openly of not capable of being a good husband and that’s why she had to go with someone else.
So I asked him, why he wanted her to suffer? Because he suffered. But he already suffered. What would you get when she would suffer. He said that he would feel peaceful. So how would he make her suffer? HE would produce all the documents of her affair in court, openly humiliate her, he would do the same thing in her office, so that she would lose her job. Ok, let’s say, you have already done that. Now, close your eyes, do you feel peaceful? You are seeking peace through this. He closed his eyes and opened eyes with guilt and anger. He felt bad that it was not him. he could never be that bad to anyone. She was the mother of his child. If she would suffer, his daughter would also suffer. So what do you want? I want her to suffer!
Ok, now, let’s take another part of the story. Two kids are playing. One takes away others ball. The other starts fighting, hitting and biting. What would you say? I will separate them and resolve. I will give the ball to the original owner. But what if the original owner child continues to bite and hit the one who snatched the ball what would you do?He though for a while and said that I might would have to slap the original owner.
Exactly! If we continue to take revenge and settle things ourselves, the Karma or the Universe will have to slap us too. But if we are patient and trust the Universe, eventually the ball will come to us and we will be peaceful and happier. Then only the real peace would prevail. Peace creates peace and love creates love. If we become evil too, it can never solve any other evil.
Follow peace if you want to be peaceful. Do not follow evil in the quest of peace.
