We start reacting ( agitating ) right away when our ego is wounded or even slightly bruised. If that happens, we should know that our mind, higher intelligence, prana and ego have not achieved impartiality, equanimity and peace. Sadhak who is struggling ( trying ) has developed in himself, a kind of forbearance with inner knowledge. This makes him keep peace and happiness and all the agitation evaporates in an instant.
Divine consciousness is present in prakruti ( nature ) and it takes many forms and expressions. There is apparent discord in this expression but we need to experience harmony in this discord. We need to behave by keeping this vision and feeling of harmony alive in our hearts. When sadhak gets a setback the reaction in his mind should be under his complete control. The kind of reaction that arise in his mind and natural tendencies, should be entirely up to him. He should always act with love and wish good of the person that caused the setback in the first place.
