We should always wish the best for everybody, even though they may not reciprocate or feel the same way. So if you train your mind with this understanding, then this kind of incident will not be able to disturb the peace in your mind. For this reason, it is important to have the right attitude to maintain a peaceful mind. If your mind starts to wander, then you should bring it back. If you find your mind taking interest in extraneous matters, then you should persuade it to come to a peaceful state. You should pray sincerely in your heart during these encounters. This kind of experiment needs to be done several times a day with mindfulness and awareness. These experiments develop self confidence and a true understanding of life. Only when you develop this kind of self confidence can you restrain your mind in real situations. We may encounter setbacks during these experiments. We should never be discouraged since we have made a conscious, firm and irrevocable decision to do this kind of work. The soul that engages in this kind of work will immediately know that any deviation of mind from this purpose is not right and is detrimental to the development of his life and his goal. Do not brood over your thoughts while performing your work. Do your work with a sense of devotion and surrender to God. We should always try to find a way to maintain peace, happiness and freedom from worries in our minds, at the same time practicing the tool with complete concentration and single-mindedness. This is the real meaning of sadhana.
