Swajan : Mota, I get disappointed when the things do not work out the way I want. There are obstacles in this world even between brother and sister resulting in mental stress and emotional pain. What kind of attitude and spirit need to be affirmed in this kind of situations?
Pujya Shree Mota : It is never possible to accomplish all that we want and aim to achieve. This happens as everybody's need to achieve the same is not there. So we need not get disappointed in this matter. We can and should put forward our best effort. At the same time there needs to be great care taken to see that we do not get disappointed in our efforts. Try to maintain the enthusiasm by all means. We ourselves are the losers if we get disappointed when things do not work out the way we want. Things working out the way we want or obtaing the results we want do not depend solely on our efforts.
I greatly value the unique love and feelings that your brothers and sisters have especially when I observe the lives of other worldly persons. I have also observed that many times there is mental anguish between people as a result of minor worldy matters and problems. This is the weakness of human life. There are very few souls that can appreciate and maintain the goodness of the lives that they come in contact and enjoy the fragrance of these lives while living their own lives. The life is for happiness and life is meaningless without happiness. If we realize that we have come in contact with each other for happiness, we will not give any importance to these small infractions of others. We would have our lives worth lived if we do not give any importance to any such difficulties or infractions while stressing the importance of the happiness in our lives.
