Now when he's blaming you, you hear that sound, the words, When we think about these words. When he's blaming, you hear that and after that very moment, it has gone to the arena of past. Those words are not prevailing anymore. But our mind does not like to think that. Our mind clings to those words. Our mind tries to hold on to those words and what our mind does is it always makes a loop-like thing to bring back all those thoughts, all those words again and again to our mind. And that is why we are suffering. That is why we feel hurt. If we can realize the reality that all these words that I heard has gone to the past, they are no longer here anymore. They are vanished.
