Dear Gurudev, when someone criticizes me I switch off and go into hiding. How to handle criticism without arguing and fighting?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Know that you’re magnanimous. Every time you face a criticism know that you are vast like the ocean, and you can take in anything.
When you feel small that is when you don’t feel like taking criticism. When you feel you are very big, then you think, 'I am much bigger than this criticism, let me take it in'.
