Words of Wisdom

Words from Swamiji:
People who are nasty, irritating, annoying or who seemingly work against you, may have been sent in order to show you that you are intolerant, impatient, capable of ill will, spite, retaliation or a spirit of vengefulness. Unless you are provoked, how can you know what is within you? So we must constantly try to see how to unfold our higher nature. Then life becomes very interesting. It will have something to tell us every moment. Rather than being something to be avoided, annoyances may be a challenge, a warning, or a helping hand.
