Non-retaliation

[dattaswami]

Non-retaliation

You have to live in this world according to the instructions of the Lord. Regarding your life in this world, the essence of His instructions is:

• Be deceived by others but not deceive others

• Be harmed by others but not harm anyone

• Be insulted by others but not insult others

• Be abused by others but not abuse others

One cannot attain God by doing penance even for centuries. But there is one easiest way to attain God. When you are deceived by others, harmed by others, insulted by others or when you are abused by others, the Lord comes to your side. It means you have attained God. Therefore, you should thank the people who have deceived, harmed, insulted or abused you. They have helped you in attaining God by the easiest way.

You should not deceive, harm, insult or even scold such people in return. What they did to you might have been the punishment for your sins by the will of God. In that case also, they have cleared your sins at an early stage so that your punishment does not grow due to interest. Thus even in that case you should thank them.

Just because you are harmed does not mean you have achieved union with God.

We are coming from very different mindsets dattaswami, perhaps it would be good to post one thread with your background, or to have people ask questions about your belief, rather than just stating and stating new threads, that few if any are going to read.

The elephant may seem different depending on who is looking at it, but the elephant is there, and is real.

Many here will not understand your reasoning, or where you are coming from, so I suggest you start one thread, to answer questions people have for you, so that we may start on the same page.
