Big Mind - Jai Gurudev + The only thing you must remember

BIG MIND......JAI GURUDEV

BIG MIND

You know there is a Big Mind and a small mind. Sometimes the Big Mind
wins over the small mind and sometimes it is the other way around.

When the small mind wins over, it is misery and when the Big Mind
wins, it is joy.

Small mind promises joy and leaves your hand empty. Big Mind may
bring resistance in the beginning but fills you with joy.

The word Guru means great. Jaya means victory. Deva means one who is
fun-loving, playful, light. One who is playful is often not dignified
and when one is dignified, he is often not playful.

Jai Guru Dev is victory to the Big Mind in you that is both dignified
and playful. That is what Jai Guru Dev means: "Victory to the
Greatness in you."

You do not say victory or hail to the Master as he has won over
already. You say victory to your own Self, your own Mind, which is
being veiled by the small mind.

Jai Guru Dev

THE ONLY THING YOU MUST REMEMBER.............

The only thing you must remember is

how fortunate you are.

When you forget this you become sad. Sorrow indicates

(I) your negative qualities, and
(ii) your attachment to your positive qualities.

When you think you are too good, you blame the world; then you become
sad. The purpose of sorrow is to bring you back to the self. And self
is all Joy. But this is possible only through Knowledge -- awareness.

Knowledge or awareness leads sorrow towards the self. With lack of
Knowledge, the same sorrow multiplies and does not get completed.
Knowledge completes sorrow.

With the power of Knowledge you transcend sorrow. In this path you
have everything. We have this beautiful Knowledge which has all the
flavors in it -- wisdom, laughter, seva, silence, singing, dancing,
humor, celebration, yagyas, caring, complaints, problems,
complications, and chaos to add color.

Life is so colorful!

Jai Guru Dev
