In Shloka 35, Chapter 3 (Karma Yoga), Srimad Bhagwat Gita, Lord Krishna says:

sreyan sva-dharmo vigunah
para-dharmat sv-anusthitat
sva-dharme nidhanam sreyah
para-dharmo bhayavahah

Meaning: It says, it is far better to discharge one's prescribed duties (Savdharma), even though they may be faultily, than another's duties. Destruction in the course of performing one's own duty is better than engaging in another's duties, for to follow another's path (paradharma) is dangerous.

Interpretation: The importance of Swadharma in one`s life is clearly stated in the above mentioned verse by the Lord himself but he left the subjective understanding of its meaning to be explored and understood on humans in everyone`s own unique way. While the Krishna puts forward about the conception of Swadharma, it is impossible to understand without understanding the concept of swabhava and dharma. Doing one’s duty as per his inner conscience is a concept well illustrated by the Swadharma. Both the dharma and Swadharma work simultaneously with each other but the linking bridge between them swabhav. According to the traditional views of Bhagwat Gita, swabhava is one’s inner essence which composes his personality.

One should therefore discharge his prescribed duties in full Kåñëa consciousness rather than those prescribed for others. Prescribed duties complement one's psychophysical condition, under the spell of the modes of material nature.


Happy Bhai Dooj, And belated Happy Deepawali !!

I tell them their expectation is unrealistic.

unrealistically..

Just remember that sometimes on God's green earth, it happens because once upon a time, Eve ate an apple, and the knowledge it gave her, made her feel insecure about herself, in the face of the larger realities, of the Life and Universe around her. Probably before her eyes were opened, she had the mind of a baby animal, who only thought of the moment, and what it brought. And Adam, the significant other.

People have unrealistic expectations because they think too much, are influenced by culture and what people think and judge, or are judged too harshly according to the world's standards. Religion says that there is a higher power, namely, God, who governs all things. If we were to consider this, then the world's standards, and what people say becomes less and less significant.

Probably if there is some harsh unreasonable person who is judging you or someone else, unfairly, it helps to understand internally where you are coming from. And to also understand that they are influenced by the works of Evil, which makes the person accost you, and make you question your self-worth.

I don’t have them anymore... sometimes a person doesn’t have what you are demanding from them....How can they give it to you...

I don't deal with it
I'm realistic...I make sure to have no expectations..if someone has unrealistic expectations of me ...that's their problem

Re establish belief system.

If it's work related I would suggest a meeting.

Anything else, tell them it's your life so stay out of it. 😡
