In the modern age man has only two options: either to refrain from waging war on the grounds that the observance of humanitarian provisos is impracticable or else he commits the crime of hurling himself headlong into war, callously ignoring all humane considerations.
The Creator has placed necessary safeguards within nature itself. The only thing we should do is to learn of these things provided by nature and apply them in our lives. The way of nature is silent communication. Those who can understand this language of silence will be able to listen to the voice of nature, and benefiting from it, will lead successful lives.
A negative feeling such as anger flares up on its own. But, in its initial stage, it remains within a certain limit. And it crosses this limit only when anger is allowed to intensify. The law of nature regarding negative feelings is that it gets activated for only about 30 seconds, and if it is checked, it gets defused like a balloon. Therefore, if a person checks his anger, and does not allow it to escalate, the negative feeling will ebb away naturally, without there being any negative outcome.
As a man is egoistic by nature, and a woman emotional, they can often be at loggerheads with each other due to their differences. This difference cannot be obliterated. The only solution to this problem is that, when a man’s ego flares up, the woman should keep her calm; and when the woman becomes emotional and loses her temper, the man must keep likewise calm. They should not give in to reactions of any kind. This is the only solution to this situation.
The greatest thing for man to target in this world is the nurturing of a noble personality. One who does so is a real human being. Such is the individual considered desirable by God according to His creation plan.
It is necessary for both a husband and a wife to understand the Law of Nature, which I call the ‘Formula of 30 seconds.’ Knowing this is the greatest secret of married life and those who have applied it in their lives will never have a major crisis in their marital relations.
Patience is undoubtedly the superior solution to all problems as opting for the way of patience and tolerance, far from being a path of defeat or retreat, is a future-oriented plan. It amounts to a voluntary acceptance of reality. This means that, even after losing something, one has always to remember that one is still in possession of many other things by utilizing which one can build anew.
A very important aspect of the keeping patience is that it helps one to take the trouble to acquaint himself with the standpoint of others, while impatience fosters in one to consider only his own harrow claims.
What disturbs the peaceful plan of nature is mainly traceable to the fact that people have become excessively materialistic. It is this thinking which leads to the exploitation of nature resulting in the disturbance of the peaceful plan of nature. If people opted for a path of moderation, they would soon discover that if earlier they were comfortable physically, now they are comfortable spiritually. And without doubt spiritual comfort is far better than material comfort.
The patient man will attempt to solve problems only after making a proper assessment of the situation, and with a view to ultimate consequences. The impatient man will jump into the fray without any calculation whatsoever and – a prey to his own seething emotions – will remain blind to any adverse consequences.
