How to maintain God's presence without losing it ?

 The monk in the ashram was a divine person. The chief disciple in the ashram had extraordinary skill in martial arts. The monk was able to rid many people in that village of their bad habits.

However, the decrease in smuggling, black market activities, and attacks was not liked by the illegal traders. They came before the monk and threatened him to leave the place.

Even though they cursed the monk, he did not say anything. For a while, the disciple stood patiently. After some time, anger surged within him. When he roared, the villagers retreated in fear.

Later, the disciple asked the guru, "Why did you remain silent even when they were cursing you?" At that moment, the guru said, "Until you became angry, I could see the divine presence all around us. But the moment you became angry with them, it vanished."

Motivation: When you react to the disturbances caused by others with opposing thoughts, words, or actions, the divine support around you will disappear. This is because you and they will become the same. Then, you will not receive God's support.
