SOMEONE ELSE'S DEFEAT

Eruch Jessawala

 
How strange it is that we don't celebrate our defeat but only our victory. When we win it is always someone else's defeat but we don't see it that way. In a way we are celebrating someone else's defeat.

Why is this? It is because that person is not one of us, he is an opponent. But all of this is in illusion.

From Baba's point of view, there is no one but Him. I tell you there is no other. He alone exists. So do not get affected by worldly victories and defeats. Instead, concentrate on winning Him then nothing will affect you. Victory will not excite you and defeat will not disappoint you.
