Limitation Becomes Space

Recently, a close relative of mine was furiously shouting at me for suggesting a solution contrary to the idea of the person. Since I was not in a position of answering back though each harsh word angrily thrown at me was bitingly painful, hurting my self-pride, my mind was resisting that and I was badly trying to mentally escape from that unpleasant situation. Just then I remembered the words of J Krishnamurti telling us not to resist 'what is' but face it with total attention. I was also reminded of Osho's words: "This too will pass." I did not react at all, and to my surprise, within minutes that person calmed down.
