Now you put yourself in juxtaposition to your Being and say that, “I have to correct myself. I have to perfect myself. I have to do it. Who am I to ask others to correct me? Why shouldn’t I correct myself? I should correct myself.” But it is the other way round.
If somebody says, “This is wrong with you,” you sit there, get angry, isn’t it? “All right, I’m all right, nothing wrong with me.” It doesn’t mean you can’t correct yourself. It doesn’t mean that others can’t correct you. It doesn’t mean that. You see, each is not similar. What it means that you should assert yourself fully to correct yourself and [if] somebody helps you, you should thank that person. I mean, supposing I’m trying to take a load somewhere and somebody helps you to take that load, why should you be angry? It’s something very simple. So one should not be angry with somebody who wants to help.
But in all wisdom I think it’s better not to help much because you’ll be boxed in your nose, you see. It’s better to allow them to correct themselves. It’s not easy in this world to correct anyone. It’s rather a cunning world, you know. So unless and until you have the tact of your Mother, better don’t try such tricks. I don’t want your black eyes. It’s a funny situation. So let them bear their own load, take it out, let them clear out. It’s better.
