In this world everybody is unique in spite of having the same soul. Even twins who look alike are unique. They are unique because their habits, perspective, choices of sanskaras and behaviors are different. We are disturbed, not because the person behaves in a particular manner, but because our expectations are not met.
We understand that fire is hot; ice is cold. Salt is salty and sugar is sweet. We use them as they are. We do not try to change their characteristics. If we are suffering from diabetes, we consume less sugar. If we are suffering from high blood pressure, we take less salt. We change our taste rather than changing their characteristics. Therefore, the emphasis should always be on changing our thought process, rather than trying to change others.
The mind that is always questioning others’ thought processes remains in pain and the mind which stops questioning why they behave like that, remains calm.
By changing ourselves, we shift from expecting respect to giving love and respect and from survival mode (taking) to service ( giving). While giving, we feel happy because we experience the energy of love. This inspire others to change.
