Unfairness
A method for coping with it
May 18th 2014
One day, a man who was suffering cruelly because of the attitude of his grown-up children came to see me. Although he showed them a lot of kindness and generosity, in return he received only ingratitude, cruelty, and he was incensed and devastated by their unfairness. I told him, ‘Would you like me to give you a remedy, an effective antidote? You will overcome these difficulties if you accept the idea that fate is using this means to strengthen you, to free you, to make you think or to make you a better person. What is consuming you and making you ill is the thought that what is happening to you is unfair. Tell yourself it is fair and you will be healed’. This man trusted me, and he recovered. He was also willing to tell himself that he might be paying for mistakes he had made in a previous lifetime… As long as you are unable to accept this way of thinking, you make yourself sick with worry and destroy yourself.
So, if you feel you are a victim of injustice, accept the idea that things only appear to be unfair. It may not be true, you might be entirely innocent, but this idea will help you, for by accepting it you become free. I have verified the truth of this for myself.
