We must master the art of saying good by to the negative reaction that develops within us from the tendency and behavior of the other persons. This may happen many times in the beginning. Moreover we should also master the art of saying good by with love to whatever is going on in the our mind. This means we should not make any chain of thoughts with understanding from any thought, vruttie, feeling or Bhavna that spring within us. We should be alert with awareness to see that the vruttie passes by on its own. When this is practiced for a while, reaction and counter reaction will go away completely and there will be expression of 'going within' in increasing strength in life. We need to step back from the disturbances in life. This cannot be achieved with artificial pressure. Know that this is possible only if we rekindle the strength of our ultimate aim in the heart and realize its need in our life. For example, some people used to tell me lots of unpleasant things during my Sadhana period. To make sure that this does not leave bad imprint within me, I used to say good by with love to such vrutties and I used to write poetry to achieve this aim.
