Why would I want to focus on the reaction of others? Be it outer or inner or central.

A mature person would surely know that action and reaction of everyone differs and we should not judge them for their choices as long it is not causing harm to others and self.

As a human surely actions and reactions of others can affect us but if we step aside and observe why we get affected its clear becos we want a "say" in everything another does.

Everyone of us wants to "dominate" in some way or the other..though not actively or passively but in a way of being connected.

Since I teach Sanskrit too now...I have come across many "spiritual" people who approach me to learn.

A good number try to market their brand of spirituality to me..ranging from Yantra to Tantra to Mantra to Kundalini to Bhakti to Bhava or Psychosis.

At times it can get a tad bit irritating too cos everyone wants to sell their wares.

Then I felt "hey why not just look at them as business men/women and learn their marketing skills?"

So I listen and listen to them and let them feel happy that they get someone to whom they can preach but I just listen and nothing more and I gain some marketing skills insight.

I wont say I am a mature..its just that I see it as a transaction.
