問：我常會碰到愛挑釁的人，他們會毫不猶豫地去傷害別人來增加自己的力量，或者去得到他們想要的東西。我想要用愛心來處理這種情況，但是通常我很害怕，而自己也變得很挑釁。我該如何處理這種情形而不會和他們一樣呢？
古儒吉：微笑。瞧，沒有人可以強迫你去做不想做的事，所以你微笑，然後去做你想做的。（笑聲）生活在這個世界上，你是需要有一種行為的。假如你認為某人是挑釁的，通常那是因為你的低自尊，通常是你覺得自己沒被注意到。只要去檢視自己內在是否有那種感覺，你想要別人對你的重視嗎？你想要別人給你的認可嗎？你總是想要別人對你微笑嗎？
好吧，你現在問我這個問題，不論我給的是什麼答案，在那當下都不會有用的，因為那當下你會忘了所有的答案。當你處在受挑釁的情況時，假如你能只是去消化它，然後微笑地看著那個人，為什麼他會愛挑釁。帶著慈悲，你的挑釁一定會冷靜下來的。

Q: Often I meet aggressive people who don’t hesitate to hurt others for increasing their power or to get what they want. I would like to handle these situations being in love, but often I get afraid and I also become aggressive. How to handle without behaving like them?
Sri Sri: Smile. See no-one can force you to do what you don’t want to do. So you smile and do what you want to do. (Laughter) You need an act to live in the world. If you think someone is aggressive often, it is your own low self-esteem. Often it’s your own feeling of not being attended to. Just examine do you have that feeling within you? Do you want to be given importance? Do you want recognition? Do you want people to be smiling at you all the time?
Okay, you’re asking me this question now, whatever aswer I give you, at that moment it won’t help. Because at that moment you’ll forget all these answers. When you are in an aggressive situation if you sould just digest and smile and look at that person, why he is aggressive, with compassion, your aggression will definitely calm down.
