And Well,
I don't get affected because I am very very clear that I am the knower.
It is this mind that is listening to you.
And it is this mind that finds the answer from the knowingness and speaks to you and tells you the answer to their problems.
I am constantly in this awareness that I am awareness.
I am knowingness.
I am not this mind that has to interact with this person who has come to me.
Stress builds up only when you start becoming one with this mind.
You have to be very equanimous.
You have to be very centered yourself first.
Otherwise,
How can you help others?
And don't you watch different kinds of movies?
You watch tragedy,
You watch comedy.
After a few days you forget.
Somebody asks you,
You remember what happened in that movie and you are like,
I don't know what you are talking about.
And then you see the movie and you are like,
Oh yeah,
I had seen this movie but I have forgotten.
Right?
Happens to you?
This should happen with every single patient of yours.
That should be your goal.
You do not carry impressions with you.
Impressions are nothing but memory.
Even if you watch a good movie,
You enjoy it.
You watch a comedy,
You laugh,
Have fun.
But it's over after those three hours.
It's done with.
A few years down the line,
You have zero memory of it.
Maybe this person,
This was the actor,
This was the actress,
Something,
Little bit I remember but I don't remember the whole thing.
I'm not carrying it with me.
Right?
Same thing you have to apply to patients because this is your job.
You are doing it on a day to day basis.
Same job,
Same field.
I am doing the same thing because they don't realise the difference between going to a psychotherapist and going to a spiritual teacher.
So 90% of the people come with all psychological problems only.
They don't come to me with the pure spiritual problems.
So being centred is your key.
