Q: Bhagavan, how do we accept things?

Bhagavan:

"See, the mind is a very good businessman. It naturally does what is profitable to it. What is not profitable to it, it does not do. When you do not accept something, the first thing is, it's a fact that it is there.

You cannot wish it away. By fighting with it, you are creating a lot of conflict. By conflict there is a lot of dissipation of energy. When energy is being lost you become unhappy and also you become a failure. On the other hand, if you accept what ever is there, there is no conflict. No conflict means there is no wastage of energy.
When energy is still, there is no movement of energy as wastage. That becomes joy and happiness. It leads to greater success. If you can see this whole process, then naturally you'll accept because it is a better choice for you. You cannot do unprofitable things. Somehow you are imagining that if you fight with it, it is good. Therefore you fight with it.

When you observe that fighting is not profitable, the mind naturally will drop it. You must see how all the fighting is not profitable to you then it's all over. It is very simple but because you are not used to this observation, the situation is going to be difficult.

But once you learn it, it is as easy as breathing but, until then, it looks "Oh! how am I going to do it ?". It takes some effort and understanding. Still it will be difficult but, I am there! If you know how to ask me, I can make you actually do it."
