There is no other way.

I am seventy-one-years-old. When I hear people com­plaining, do you know what happens to me? I immediately go into prayer. Automatically. It is not something I have to perform. I say, “God, help these creatures.” You ask me how I live? I live out of this bitchiness, these complaints, these demands; this whatever you want to call it. I live through every slander because of only one thing: every slander invokes me into prayer. In my mind, I really ask the Creator, “By Thy Grace, please help them, help these earthlings, these two-legged animals, these mammals who stink and have no shame to understand that God created them in His own Image.  –Yogi Bhajan
