How to deal with being slandered?

[Guest Guest_Singh]

What does one do when another is slandering them?

What about in a circumstance where someone spreads false rumours about you and/or leads a character assassination? 

It is difficult to not react because your reputation is being falsely tarnished.

thanks in advance Sangat Ji.

Speak up when you need to. Don't do it in an angry or mad way, but just tell the full truth. Never be afraid to tell the truth. I learnt (from previous experience) that you don't need to take anything from anyone. If someone is spreading false rumours about you and its constant then its best to speak. By not saying anything, you are encouraging the person to carry on. 

However, if you are going to speak up then do it in a humble way that everyone will listen to you. The worst thing you can do is shouting and swearing because thats not going to get you anywhere lol

i think that, the part of your mind that gets angry/ worried about reputation is based on pride.  so put aside pride for one.

then to reassure yourself that as long as you are a good person who only does good things, other peoples opinions don't matter.  

this is an opportunity to learn about human nature, and how insecure, nasty and petty people can be.  then you actually start to feel compassion for them.

also you learn not to judge others, and to put your mind on productive things (like things to make your own life better).

Slander is just jealousy, and a little lust. 

Realise they're just your haters. Its nothing new, the Gurus had plenty of them. I know bhagats who get slandered every day. I also get slandered daily. You need to just let it be. People know the deal, if someones taking that much time out to hate on you others will notice, its embarrassing for the hater, it shouldnt be embarrassing for you because you should be too busy living and enjoying your life while they waste their lives sitting in negativity and hate. 

Slander shows how insecure and jealous and also lustful towards you a human is. It's normal for a bhagat, Practicing the Truth is the bhagat leaving maya and bullsh*t and negative people dont always like it. 

Have an I dont give an f attitude. I don't care about what goes on around me, I dont care about peoples energies or negativities, I don't care if I have haters, why should I dwell on such thoughts. I have a life to live and I live it.

Most people who slander are just trying to make themselves look better than you.  I’ve been in a similar situation and although it did bother me I just distanced myself from that person. I’m glad maharaj showed me the type of person he was so I could be more cautious.

When your so called friends are talking behinds someone’s back it’s a guarantee that they will be talking about you at some point.  It’s a bad habit that some people will never overcome and it’s best to stay away and spend the time working on your own meditation.
