Aptavani-2
the bickering will start early in the morning. This is how the
worldly life becomes bitter. However, problems will be solved if
one learns to adjust with different prakrutis.
You can give compliments, you can say ‘the meal is
good’, but do it in a dramatic manner. You can give compliments
to make the other person feel good. But if there is too much salt
in the kadhee and you say, “The kadhee is too salty”, then it will
hurt the other person’s ego. It is acceptable for you to comment
on the kadhee provided you know how to say it, but otherwise
look for other solutions. Discretely add water to it then drink it.
Now that you have this Gnan, drink whatever the world serves
you. Tremendous energies exist within you. Prakruti will drink
the salty kadhee, and You (the Self) are the observer. No one
can act beyond the prakruti. Even before ‘we’ attained this
Gnan, the knowledge and insight of how ‘we’ should adjust to
situations was always at hand. All solutions would be present on
the moment.
Because the world exists, everything else will be there for

mean one should not buy wheat? No, one should buy the wheat
but pick out the stones and the grit and eat the wheat. Prakruti
becomes stuck wherever it meets with obstacles. So, wherever
the prakruti gets stuck, just focus Your (the Self) light there and
become aware of what those obstacles are. You must see every
mistake of yours. Lord Mahavir too used to observe only his
own prakruti and what it was doing.
When you have to do something against your wishes, all
you need to do is simply know that you have to undertake the
task even though you do not wish to. In this situation it means
the prakruti is ‘riding’ (controlling) you. You should not let
prakruti ride over you. Prakruti was not meant to ride us, which
is why you must make prakruti the ‘horse’ and then ride it and
take the reins in your own hands. If the ‘horse’ does not move,
