During Pujya Deepakbhai's satsang tour in Kolkata (India) there was a spiritual discourse for sewarthi. One of the sewarthi asked question as:
Questioner: I am always trying to make my files [friends and family members] happy. It creates a lot of mental pressure for me.
Pujya Deepakbhai Replied: Don't try to make them happy. Just try not to hurt them. For example: If one has started a new business, what will he expect? A profit? No, he will expect less of a loss. What will he say, "It's ok if my business doesn't make a profit because it's new but I will be happy if it doesn't incur a loss." In the same way we have just started this new business [of the Soul].
