Q& A with a monk-10- Handling People-1
D- Disciple
D- People around me are making fun of me; I don’t know how to handle them?
M- Imagine you are a pond and the same people have circled the pond and are making fun of you, now tell me what will they see in the pond.
D- Will see their reflection
M- Do you think the nature of the pond will change because of someone’s reflection?
D- No
M- Then why should you worry? When people make fun of others, it is their behavioral problem and not yours
D-what will happen if they disturb the pond by throwing a stone?
M- the water in the pond will be disturbed for a while, but after some time it will settle down. Remember when they disturb the pond; they also will not be in a position to see their reflections clearly.
In life, those who disturb others will neither understand others nor will understand self
D- What will happen if they enter the pond?
M-They will become wet. The closer they come to you, the more they will know about you and they will also carry some of your qualities with them.
At one point of time the more you go closer to people you will either understand them or you will understand yourself
D-I will activate the pond in me
M-every human being has nature and inside nature is the reflection of nature
