A devotee once asked Sai, when a person has some tension or worries, he often tends to do something which is not right, please suggest a solution.
Sai said, “The best answer for this is to always forgive and let go. When you are under some pressure, you must stop your mind from reacting wrongly and must explain to your mind to forgive, even if someone has spoken or behaved badly with you. If anyone is hurt in any way because of you, ask for forgiveness. In the house if any two people or son and daughter-in-law are having an argument, you must ignore or simply leave that room or place. We must explain to our mind that it is their problem, why must I be affected. Even if we tend to listen to it, we will be affected, so best is to ignore.”
That devotee further asked if there was any other solution. Sai said, “For that, you need a Guru! When we are ill, it is the doctor who gives us medicine, but it is we, who have to take it. Same way for following the right path, Guru’s teachings are there, but we have to follow them! A doctor treats the body, I treat the mind!”
