Two similar scenarios but reaction was different.
In the first scenario, the lady of the house was from an affluent family and got married in an affluent family. Servants were working and suddenly something broke. She screamed and asked them to clean. In the the
In another scenario, where financial things were almost similar. So We were having coffee and one servant spilled the coffee while serving and some drops fell on her dress also. She looked at the servant but there was no anger. She asked him to clean up and from kitchen she heard something broke. Then she went and checked from what I heard I felt good. She asked if the servant was ok and did not hurt himself. Then she asked if everything was normal at home as he looked disturbed. But no where she lost her peace. Her husband called up and she laughed. I heard him saying that’s why he calls up always to hear her laughing. Not to mention, when kids came in, they also were happy. Running around, spreading things and she was all peaceful about all that. I asked her, how she remains calm with so many things going around her all the time, she looked surprised and said, I wonder why these things shall bother me? This is my home my life. This is how it is, what’s there to get angry about? Kids are being kids, servants are being servants and husband is being husband. She was surprised that I had such a question!
So in the first scenario, what was disturbing her? Because she wanted everyone to be as per her. Pick and clean and sitting quietly. Was it possible? All she had to do was accept everything the way it is instead of everyone around her feeling scared. Because they do not know to be as per her all the time. We also do not have to be as per her. If we really want to be peaceful, we just have to accept everything the way it is. We need to smile at the variety of life.
Accept life with happiness and gratitude. Create that peace inside you with everything else around you. No one can give that peace to you.
