Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Question from a devotee: I take some people in dislike because of some things I perceive in them. This is interfering in my ability to treat them decently and consequently makes me feel guilty and ashamed of myself. How can I learn to look beyond the imperfections that I so dislike in people? Thank you for your time. Swamiji's response: All that is small is innocent of its size. It is not fair for the elephant to complaint to the ant, Why are you so small? Everyone is following his or her own nature. So forgive them for their natures, forgive yourself as well. Relax and enjoy your love affair with life.
