Leading A Spiritual Life

I experienced this myself. One day, I suggested that
we should go sight-seeing the following day. The next
morning, he came to tell me that he was ready and had
cancelled all his engagements for that day. I told him
that I was not in a mood to go and would rather stay
at home. Without any complaint, he instantly said,
“Chalo, ye bhi theek hai!” I told him, “You seem to be a
different kind of person. Why?” He laughed and said,
“God Almighty made me and threw the mould away!”
In life, you should not try to eliminate stress. Instead
you should learn the art of stress management. Most
often, stress is caused due to complaints against another
person. Instead of developing a complaint, we must
take it easy. Taking it as a complaint would turn it
into ‘crippling stress.’ Taking it normally would turn
it into a ‘non-crippling stress.’ Crippling stress causes
problems whereas non-crippling stress keeps the mind
active. Stress is a healthy sign. The only condition is
to detach it from complaints and take it as a normal
phenomenon.
