have to remove big rocks that come your way, otherwise you
are bound to crash into them if they are lying in your path.
Bring a closure by becoming straight (sarad)
The one who is straight (sarad) will flex and bend
according to the truth, will adjust promptly to the truth. Such a
one will quickly turn in matters where the ‘soul’ accepts and
agrees, and he will not be insistent there. The one who insists is

vyavasthit? Is it not vyavasthit that he asks something?’ ‘We’
have all the solutions. Otherwise where is the end in sight? ‘We’
bring about a resolution quickly.
It is wrong of us to say, ‘this person is right and this
person is wrong.’ You just have to believe that the other person
is right and you are wrong and just move on. That way the other
person will not have any problems either. No one will have a
pending ‘claim’ against you. You can never be free if there are
any claims pending against you.
