How to deal with rude behaviour? |
|
H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
What do you do when someone behaves very rudely towards you? Get upset React rudely back Get frustrated Run away and avoid the person or situation Blame the person Preach to the person None of these will in any way strengthen you.
Then what are the options? See rude behaviour in this light:
It indicates the intensity of their commitment It indicates their stress and insensitivity It projects the upbringing of the person It shows a behavioural pattern It shows lack of knowledge It shows lack of observation of the mind and its sensations It shows you behaviour to avoid It is an opportunity for you to welcome and absorb the rudeness It strengthens your mind It reveals the love that you are as unconditional
The next time when someone is rude to you, just give back a broad smile. If you can digest their rudeness, nothing whatsoever can shake you.
