How to Stop Caring What Others Think Of You – Inspirational Video by Swami Mukundananda
the devotees are equal to praise and criticism they know that this is the way of the world no matter what you do there will be people who will be praising you there will be people who will be criticizing you so what is the big deal when we know that this is going to happen then why lose any sleep over it there is a story of a Jew bhagat he’s been one saint in north india he was a greatest saint so one of his neighbors had to go on a yachtie and he said you know I’ve got these valuable possessions can I leave them in your house for safekeeping cut you go God said you know in my backyard out there you give the Attic you can keep it I have got no problem so that person left the items there and he went off on his yatra when he came back he said the stuff I had left can I get it touch you Berger said yeah go and get it he went and got it and then he counted and found that something was missing so he started abusing tad you maggot you thief I thought you were honest but you have pilfered from an upright person like myself and you masquerade yourself as a saint while actually you are a demon even done now the people in the public they also gathered ha ha that’s right we also thought your access is absolutely validating our view so little crowd got there to criticize hegemonic judge you maggot was unruffled a few days went by and this person realized that his counting was wrong he had missed out himself everything was intact so he came back and he started praising well actually you know I was really mistaken I could not understand you but you are a gem of a person there is nobody like you you have from the higher abodes and he went on and on and on now he and a group of people gathered that’s very light we all do you are like this we are very proud of you which had you bothered heard he said to Mary prescience a phobic hawk or to Mojave Linda peacock I can’t either for your praises and all for your criticisms because this is the way of the world the people in the world are not all God realizes yes ins are bearden keep the Sunni like the goats good if it falls into a pit all the others will also fall into the pit so that is that they won’t even know that this is the nature of the world so as not disturb like somebody is standing on the crossroads and is abusing you and you start walking you hear all these my cards are chosen phrases he is using how awful how terrible you are deeply upset but when you go close you find that he’s off balance insane will you be upset any longer fill anybody it be upset if a madman insults them of course god he’s a madman he doesn’t know what he’s saying so similarly in this world people are rotating in the three modes of nature Adi Maya Masha jagrata Brahma he Tina he Cohutta Kaku Agathon I will see – kisses this world people can said anything to anyone why lose any sleep over it so Shri Krishna says those devotees who are equal to both praise and criticism are very dear to me our scripture said 12 butis our ghoul okay smin daiva asura a watcher there are always one I t’s of people if you do something good those who are bad will criticize you if you do something bad those who are good will criticize you so somebody is always going to criticize you if that is the case why do we endeavour to be called good we use our will power our full energy for what to become good no another to be called good so do something to become good not let the people call me good for that do something now that amount of energy that we are wasting and being called good if we had utilized in becoming good what a big transformation it would have made but that’s not the endeavor the endeavor is always that others should call me good and the fact is that nobody can call us good that is the history of this world mother Sita chuckle Janani in her time also there were still Tobey who manifested who said that I am NOT like Rama who will keep Sita who has lived in Lanka with loud so if this was the age of three theta if in that age we found a hobby of this kind of mentality in Calliope what is astonishing if we find people telling all kinds of things so why unnecessary labor if you are the silent types people say oh you know he’s a bundle done speak much and if you speak too much oh beware of him he doesn’t give you a chance to say anything so no matter what you do Moonen mukha Ravitch anata papa butter jar too low sulfur coma drish to a parse way varsity da-da-da-da-dah Fraggle ha if you tolerate people will say you know he’s a pushover he’s got no strength and if you oppose or if you rise in opposition they say oh you know he’s too rough so in every behavior in every situation we will find somebody or the other has got complaints and objections that is why there is the story of large ships he told mother Parvati let’s go for a walk some other Parvati said what is the mood of my issue were today so where do you want to go for a walk he said let’s go to Matthew look so mother Parvati said all right but be a being to make you look none of we have been but today let’s go to the bay area the people out there are very special [Laughter] so shunt mother Parvati said all right my lord if you say they are very special in Bay Area let us go so they reached and they landed up somewhere at the Golden Gate Bridge or something so they were Shang Shung Cody and Parvati were walking in front and Dundee was walking behind now some of the tourists gathered there they looked and they said look at these two people no sense in their head that bull is going empty and they are walking along they could have sat on the bull and had a free ride Shankar he said Parvati have you heard what they are saying Parvati said yes my lord alright then let us conform let us both sit down or not be so they both sat down on Lumbee now they were moving along so they came further down towards Freemont and out there some people belonging to the SPCA they saw and they said such cruelty they’ve got no compassion for the animals feelings both of them CC does not this bull Shanker D said poverty have you heard what they have commented poverty said yes my lord all right in that case let’s do one thing you sit on the bull and I shall walk along poverty said well my lord you know if it’s better that you sit and I walk Shanker D said all right so Shankar D was sitting and then Parvati was walking and there each one of those University Stanford or something and some ladies out there women’s rights groups for standing they said what’s going on this is gold colic the ladies walking and her husband is sitting on that bull shank Rudy said Parvati have you heard what’s going on out here Parvati said my lord you see what is happening is in the world nowadays it is ladies first so Shanker D said if that is the case and use it on the bull and I shall walk so they did that and they moved ahead they came to the Sunnyvale Hindu temple and there was this group of Hindus and they said cross Kalyug has come the wife is sitting on the bull and the husband is walking along Shankar he said Parvati now there is only one solution let us hold mum be on our shoulders they tied him to the trishal and started caring walking carrying him on their shoulders now they went to the India bazaar and some people’s to death they said these two are totally crazy so Shankar decide Parvati I brought you to Bay Area for this reason to show you that no matter what you do people will always find some form some defect so in that is the state of this world why bother so Shri Krishna says are to those devotees who are beyond all this are very dear to me because they have that wisdom that maturity to be indifferent to this [Applause]
