What will happen if I don’t become more tolerant?
- I will become angry when things don’t go my way and will constantly complain to others about my struggles.
- I will never be satisfied with the circumstances I’m in.
- I will always find faults and criticise devotees.
- Devotees will start to avoid me, which will put me in a situation where I will not have much association.
Spiritual life without good association is impossible.
Are any of you readers feeling that you are in this situation…? or going towards that destination where nobody wants to really be around you because of your negative mood?
How many of you, dear readers, have been in situations where people are feeling uncomfortable to approach you, what to speak about correcting you?
Without the feedback of a Vaisnava, we can’t make spiritual progress.
Do we still want to remain stubborn and not change our approach?
The choice is ours!
