================================================

 

Dear Amba and Jagannath,

 

I think that Amba answered the nice question that she

asked in her last mail. According to my interpretation

of the excerpts that she wrote in the first mail, I

think that both Matthew 18:21,22 and The Gospel of Sri

Ramakrishna convey same message. There is little

subtlety in first then the later.

 

Both (according to my interpretation) guides us to not

to take the person and his deeds personally. If we do

so only then we feel hurt. if one is always good to

others then there is no reason for which someone

should hurt him/her. but even then such thing happens

then the person who is hurting has his own

psychological troubles which makes him do such things.

if one looks at the problem from this aspect then one

would pity on the person rather than resenting on him.

 

for example, even after looking at the need of

Jagannath the person couldnot give up his petty

desires. then one would rather feel sorry for him,

that he has such an intense desires for such paltry

things. (here i am assuming that there was no medical

necessity for him to do so)

 

experiancing at the problem again and again one

naturally overcomes the pain in the problem and then

is able to see it in a raw form. may be this way used

in Matthew 18:21,22. it encourages one to learn, this

very important thing, from ones experiances or

realizations to oneself.

 

the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna also tells us the same

way. there is one more additional thing explicitly

told there is to " saluting them from afar " . this is

applicable if the person is hurting you in a way by

which your existance is in danger.

 

kindly pardon me for my limited vision which i have

put forth in the reply to the question asked.

 

take care,

dhananjay.
