The source material provides a powerful example of Baba's profound acceptance rather than a strategy for managing difficult people. Chapter 0 describes his daily interaction with Bhagoji Shinde, a man afflicted with leprosy who would tend to him every morning. The text explicitly states, "Maharaj never felt disgust for him nor changed his daily routine regarding him one bit." This demonstrates a principle of unwavering kindness and compassion that transcends the person's condition or behavior. While not direct advice for an office conflict, it suggests that Baba's guidance would focus on cultivating your own inner state of gentleness and acceptance, reflecting his core ethical teachings mentioned in Chapter 0.
How did Baba interact with people he might have disagreed with or found difficult? I'm looking for advice on handling a difficult coworker.
