Swajan-lady: Mota, If we always do things that others like, we are considered good. How is that possible?
Pujya Shree Mota: We have all kinds of likes and dislikes. We relish the things we like and hate the things we dislike. All the souls have the habit of liking others who conform to their ideas and beliefs. So we need to practice behaving in a way that is above likes and dislikes both.We need to practice not being too happy when someone acts in a way that we relish and not to be unhappy and relish when someone acts contrary to our likings.This needs to be done with clear understanding. Every soul loves when others act the way they like but the soul that wants to practice surrendering, needs to learn to act according to others likes and dislikes. He must practice creatively and effectively.
I felt bad when I saw your unhappy face (as if you drank castor oil), after you needed to do something that you did not like. You have not developed enough understanding and idealism of the mystery and importance of life in your inner being (mind, heart etc). It is important to think about this matter during this period.
If you keep your attention focused on inner being and stabilize your inner gaze, chitta, prana, and ego on Mota's heart and be absorbed in it, you will definitely experience the divine consciousness.
