one has an open mind.
How can I express myself?
You should not express your opinion first. Ask the other person what he thinks about the matter at hand. If the other person adheres to his viewpoint, then you should let go of your opinion. All you need to make sure of is that the other person does not get hurt in any way. Do not attempt to impose your opinion upon others. Accept the other person's viewpoint. I have accepted everyone's opinion and have become a Gnani. I never push my opinion on others. No one should be hurt by your opinion.
If your mental revolutions are at a speed of 1800 rpm and the other person's revolutions are at 600 and you try to force your opinion on that person, his engine will break down and all the gears will have to be replaced. The cause behind clashes is because you do not know how to employ a 'counter-pulley', to slow down your revolutions which results in arguments, clashes, fights and sometimes the whole engine may break. Removal of ego alone is not enough to make the other person understand you. A counter-pulley must also be used and adjust accordingly. That is, conversation among people will be meaningful only when you come to one's level of revolutions.
Related Spiritual Quotes by Param Pujya Dadashri :
1) When one says, 'my opinion', it creates a veil. Due to the veils of his opinions, one does not understand the opinions of other people, and so there he keeps on talking ill things only.
2) If there is difference of opinions on a rare occasion, then that is the measure of being a human.
3) To generate difference of opinion is the 'poison' itself. One wants to be immortal and he is drinking 'poison'.
4) If you made difference of opinion, there where would Soul reside? Where there is difference of opinion, there is no Soul, and where there is Soul, there is no difference of opinion. Soul can never manifest where there is difference of opinion. Where there is egoism, there is opinion.
5) Difference of opinion is a clash, and to clash is a 'weakness'.
6) It is said that a person has attained knowledge, he knows, when difference of opinion does not arise with anybody.
