"To love someone whom you like is insignificant. To love someone because they love you is of no consequence To love someone whom you do not like means you have learned a lesson in life. To love someone who blames you for no reason shows that you have learned the art of living..." ----- His Holiness Sri Sri Ravishankarji

A Teeny Tiny Bit
Mind lives on more. Misery starts with "more and more". Misery makes you
dense and gross. Self is subtle. To go from gross to subtle you go
through the finest relative... the atom. To overcome aversion, hatred,
jealousy, attraction or entanglements, you have to go to the atom. Going
to the atom means accepting a teeny tiny bit of all this.
It may be difficult to accept something that you don't like but you can
definitely accept a teeny tiny bit (an atom) of it. The moment you
accept that one atom, you will see change happen. This has to be done in
a meditative state.
Suppose you love someone. You want more and more of them. Yet there is no fulfilment. In Anu Vrat (the vow of an atom), you take just one atom of that person and that is enough to bring fulfilment to you.
Though the river is vast, a little sip quenches your thirst. Though Earth has so much food, just a little bite satisfies your hunger. All that you need is teeny tiny bits. Accept a teeny tiny bit of everything in life, that will bring you fulfilment.
Stephano: What about trouble?
There is so much trouble in the world, you can accept just a teeny tiny part
of it. Tonight go to bed feeling that you are satisfied, taking a teeny tiny part of divinity with you.
Satisfaction comes from the subtle and not from the "more and more".
Question: What about giving?
You take a teeny tiny part, and the rest you give away.
