Function With Intelligence To Give Up Self Contradiction

Swamiji, there are books that say 'don't sweat for small stuff'. But small things do matter, is it not Swamiji?

When you function with intelligence, you will not fall into the category of sweating for small stuff.

A small story:

A young man went to visit his friend.

He found him scraping the wallpaper off the wall.

He asked him, "Are you repainting?"

The friend replied, "I am moving house."

You see, you cannot ignore the small things. But you should be intelligent enough to pay only the amount of attention it warrants, else you are starting to sweat. Never listen to people when they say not to pay attention to small things. Remember: Small holes can sink a great ship. Just understand that you need to operate with your intelligence and awareness when you are at it.

First of all, you need to be absolutely convinced about the so-called small things that you are concerned about. If this is there, then there is no self-contradiction and automatically you will find the energy to do those things. When you are not fully convinced, you will not have enough conviction and energy to go behind it and get it done your way. It means that your intelligence is not fully behind you, because intelligence is energy and energy is intelligence.
