acceptance gives enormous strength

after prayers and circumambulations, in the temple, we are given prasadam, ofcourse little. which we take
 with out any second thought because  we acccept it. even if some objection come from small children
elders teach them not to complain, as it is prasadam. if acceptance is there, then our mind cooperates with us.
prasadam is not just what we get in the temple, even in our daily life we can get prasadam from every
day event, situation and people whom we come across. how?
acceptance keeps our mind calm. on the other hand if we react to every  situation  , people and event ,the
first victim is our own mind.just like pot with water shaking inside cannot be stable body cannot be stable
if the mind within is shaking.. events do disturb us how to control our mind .that is very important.
a peaceful mind in all circumstances is a gift.  as we come across changes that occurs we should  practice
acceptance little by little  this .can built up this enormous strength of inner peace. a conscious acceptance of one hour a day will train us to this state of mind. accept and do not quarrel with yourself during this time, what every may happen. you may not like the talk, situation, language .simply accept and be quiet !
big question here is how to accept a thing which you do not like? here acceptance means not  not  to respond to the situation. first accept it. this has happened .ok. then what needs to be done to clear things up.
there will be more clarity in your thought then and more power in your action. , only when it follows
unconditional acceptance and contemplating response.
in an argument, best way to disagree is to accept and move on. in peace, there is clarity of mind.
you can think  you are not disturbed, an upper hand in situation to take a better decision. nothing is lost
everything is gained in such acceptance. this is called prasada buddhi or intellect that is in peaceful agreement with what is can achieve wonders in this world.
contrary if we react to every silly person, unwanted situations that confronts, we can see how fast we lose.
