so I will summarize what I spoke today I spoke about how the most dangerous jumping is jumping to conclusions children may jump across beaches and parents may say don’t do this as adults we often observe something and we jump to a conclusion about why that person did that and that can lead to unnecessary misunderstandings we may jump to conclusions because of the circumstances as happened with Wali Sugriva because of our own mindset as happened with Duryodhana and the Pandavas or it may be because of other troublemaking elements in our community as it happened with Kaikeyi and Mantara so we are finite living beings and humility means to acknowledge the complexity of reality so why somebody is acting in a particular way we don’t know so instead of talking about others we need to talk with others and try to understand why a particular person is acting in a particular way so I gave the example of how people are madly in love with dogs you may say that is attachment but then it is not just attachment the human need for understanding when it is not filled by other human beings when it is not fulfilled by other human beings then people will sit and speak in dogs or somebody may need a dog for therapeutic purpose we don’t know so when we are dealing with others if by enquiry we can understand it is well and good, if we can’t then just keep a distance and move on in our life and instead of focusing on what that person is why that person is doing like this we can focus on what Krishna is trying to teach me through this then we will have a positive attitude and we will learn something from it so when Vidura saw that Duryodhana was acting out of envy and arrogance but he also saw that Krishna was disentangling him from the guru family at that time so he took that positive Prabhupada when he was rejected help by his god brother he saw that supposedly Krishna wanted to focus entirely on the rest and take help and train these people so if we focus on what Krishna is trying to teach us that learning attitude will help us to find the positive and move onwards in our life thank you very much Hare Krishna yes
