just don’t understand anything, maybe they shout at us, they speak rudely to us.
So, how do we stay humble and get over it at that time? When we are approaching that person, we are not just approaching that person. We are actually dealing with Krishna. That means we are approaching that person to benefit that person, but we are also approaching that person to please Krishna.
And if we have that perspective in mind, have you been to a clothes shop? There are sometimes hundreds of dresses in the clothes shop. And we may go and, you know, I want to see this dress. I see this dress.
I see this dress. And we just look at that dress and we put it aside. Often the attendant has to come and then put the dress in the right place.
Maybe iron it again. Sometimes wash it again also. A lot of work.
So, now suppose there is a particular customer who is a very messy customer. That customer looks at a hundred dresses and doesn’t take any dress. Now, when that happens, as soon as that customer comes, the attendant will say, oh my god, you know, I don’t want this person here.
And now the attendant will still deal very courteously with the customer. And even if the customer doesn’t take the cloth, take any dress, the attendant knows that the camera is everywhere, my boss is watching. And my salary is coming from my boss.
So, if my boss sees that oh, this attendant behaves so courteously, although this customer is so difficult, then the boss also knows this customer is a very difficult customer. But still, the boss sees this customer behaves so nicely. Sorry, this attendant behaves so nicely with this difficult customer.
And the boss will appreciate. And although the attendant may not make a sale, but still, the boss may promote the attendant. You know how to deal with difficult customers.
You remain courteous. And the boss will be pleased. The boss may promote also.
So, although at one level there is failure. Couldn’t sell the particular dress. But there is success.
Because the boss was pleased, he got promoted. So, like that. So, what am I referring to? Who is the boss? Krishna.
And the people who are being ruled, they are like the difficult customer. So, we are approaching them. We want to make the sale.
We want to help them take the book. At the same time, our goal is to please Krishna. So, even if this doesn’t work out, if somebody is being ruled, Krishna also knows that person is being ruled.
Krishna is observing how we react at that time. So, we can grow closer to Krishna by focusing on Krishna at that time. Answer, respond, not just based on how that person is responding, but also based on what we please Krishna.
