We need to perform Karmas in Sansar and its dealings, and as a result we will be involved with people. For this reason, we should deal with such persons in Sansar with sweetness. This sweetness should be genuine and not phony. It should be heartfelt and sincere. You want to get work done. So who will do the work? These related persons or someone else? Work itself is inanimate but it will be done in the best way if we keep love, open mindedness, and considerate behavior towards everyone. Work will not be done if you get offended or angry. On the contrary it will be interrupted. Try this in your dealings. You may not get quick results. This path is difficult. It will not suffice if someone gets angry at you and you also get angry in return. If we keep humility, there will be liking in the work and the process. So quit to impress others, feel superior, and get angry at them. When there is a need to let go, just let it go. This is enough for us. If we live by such Bhavna, our liking towards the Chetan (consciousness) will increase. Mind will be filled with peace and happiness. If you disturb the mind (for example by getting angry), this will not happen. We cannot be separate from the work in Sansar. Work can be done in best manner only if we behave with love, goodness, and sympathy. Otherwise work will be spoiled.
We do not keep harmony and goodness when the Prakruti-Nature of the other person is bad. If we do not perceive other person's faults, we develop a stage when we will be able to keep harmony. Human being is connected to the work, so if we behave with natural ease, the work will be done in best way. Our difficulty will be less and we will have easy time. We will get help from our work. We will also develop heartfelt natural easiness leading to a higher stage.
Chetan does not stop to exist even if human being does not do Sadhana, does not do Naam-Smaran or even does not believe in it. Similarly, if we keep Bhava of Goodness towards everyone and deal with others in Sansar with harmonious nature, we will develop softness towards others. This leads to higher stage leading to liking of everyone. There will be increased awareness of Chetan. Even if we keep Chetan on the side, it is a big deal if our works in Sansar are done harmoniously and without conflict. So, if we act with harmony and neglect bad behavior of others, even for our own self interest, work will be done with ease. When that happens our peace and happiness are not interrupted. This technique is necessary even without consideration of Chetan.
