Worry means 'war with the self'
The word “worry” itself means at “war with the Self”.
Worry itself signifies, “Thinking that induces fear within one’s being”.
No doubt worry is thinking…but what kind of thinking…”unnecessary thinking”!
Worry begins when one strongly feels that there is no other solution …other than to think!
Worry always finds its way back to fear. Often many solutions come before the worrier…but he seldom wishes to get out from his so-called “safety net” of continuous uninterrupted thinking.
We often worry and make others worry with us. We are comfortable that both are thinking unnecessarily and remain in a false notion that that itself will bring peace.
We desire…we chase…we make the choices and inevitably when worry surrounds us we look toward God and ask Him “Why?”
We constantly talk of our desires. We often wonder which one will be fulfilled…at what time. And then we speak of how much faith we have in God…and wonder if He has known and realized it!!
Are we truly carefree? Are we ready to give up worrying? Are we ready to distinguish between the “necessary thinking” and the “unnecessary thinking”?
When unnecessary thinking becomes a habit…worry becomes your nature…fear becomes your companion…and life becomes a road to failures…
Let us succeed in thinking right first! And whatever follows we will surely learn to face!

Difference of opinion must be like the 2 eyes, each giving a different picture of the same subject...both of which coordinated to give a complete pic
Difference of opinion must be like the two eyes, each giving a different picture of the same object; both of which, when coordinated give a complete rounded picture. It is no use indulging in arguments and disputations; he who clamors aloud has not grasped the Truth, believe Me. Silence is the only language of the realized.
Those who know will not speak; those who speak do not know, can not know. It is the ignorant man who argues loudly and angrily and talks cynically. The wise man will pause before judging; he will see all sides of the problem, relate it to his own experience and hesitate to accept it or condemn it. He will hear less and taste more.

Read this story... 'Bitterness of life'
An experienced wise master grew tired of his Disciple complaining. One morning he sent the Disciple for some salt.
When the Disciple returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and drink it.
"How does it taste?" the master asked.
"Bitter," spit the Disciple.
The master chuckled and then asked the young man to put a handful of Salt in the lake nearby.
The two walked to the nearby lake. After the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the water, the old man said, "Now drink from the lake...”
As the water dripped down the young man's chin, the master asked, "Now How does this taste?"
"Fresh Sweet" remarked the Disciple.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the master.
"No," said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside the young man who so reminded him of himself at one time and held his hands.
He told the young man, "The pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains exactly the same. However, the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in!

Forbearance....

To do so, you must develop forbearance ,

observing self-restraint under all circumstances,
doing good to all, even to those who may want to harm you.

Forbearance is equivalent to truth itself.
It is the heart of righteousness .
It is non-violence in practice.
Forbearance is contentment, compassion;
truly, it is everything in all the worlds.
Only when you have developed forbearance,
will you be able to attain the Love..
