I’m
for the long, long view. Every time things like this happened,
Maharajji would say, “It’s perfect. It’s perfect.” Now I know that many
of you are feeling repulsed or apoplectic about that statement, but
we’ve got to keep our quietness inside. We’ve got to keep our love. Our
compassion. We’ve got to keep our wisdom during this time.
In this political scene, I don’t think we all should sit back and say, “It’s just perfect.” But I want to say you should not do social action with frustration and anger, but with love. The fear, the anger, and all those things, that’s the work. Is that inside you? Love it. Those things are thoughts, and those thoughts are not productive. If you identify with your soul, you love those thoughts. And I think it’s hard to do that. The hardness is the work.
