The sensitive one

13.12.99 The temptation to flee from a place where there is uncouthness is natural. Particularly when one is sensitive. Yet the real victor is one who remains unaffected and cool. For is it not the fate of the materialistic to ever be in fragments? In any case it would be well to remember that one is in this place only for the money. One does not depend on the external for any other security. Do not expect any sort of comfortable behaviour towards you. You are already comfortable by virtue of your presence within. You have no ego to be hurt. You have a ego only if you place yourself outside. When you are within, where’s there a place for an ego? When you say you are here for money, it doesn’t mean you are bothered abut it al all. Once the salary has been agreed upon, why bother about it ever again? So, in short, during your work here, you would have no problems. Be fearless. That is, don’t fear losing your job.
