Strength, Their Magnanimity.
The weaker you are, the more you demand your rights. Asserting your rights
makes you isolated and poor. People who fight for their rights, take pride
in it. This is an ignorant pride. You need to recognize no one can take away
your rights. They are yours.
The courageous will give away their rights. The degree to which you give
away your rights indicates your freedom, your strength. The stronger you are
the more you give away your rights. Only those who have their rights can
give away their rights!!!
Demanding rights does not really bring you the rights, and giving them away
does not really take them away.
Poor are those who demand their rights.
Richer are those who know their rights cannot be taken away.
Richest are those who give away their rights.
Demand for rights is ignorance, agony.
Knowing no one can take away your rights is freedom.
Giving away your rights is love, wisdom.
Those Who Fight For Their Rights Are Weak For They Do Not Know Their Inner

The Heat of Knowledge........
The Heat of Knowledge
For your prayer to be answered, the desire has to be intense. The
greater the intensity of desire and the later it gets fulfilled, then
greater will be the gratitude.
lntense desire leads you to devotion. For desire to get intense, time
and the need for the desire are required. The feeling of gratitude is so
overwhelming after the fulfillment of desire that it's achievement
loses its charm and significance.
The son of a farmer in India had a life-long desire to go to England and
he prayed deeply for it. Even the news of his trip to England
materializing filled him with immense gratitude he did not even
care whether he went or not.
Often people think that they are unfortunate if their desires don't
get fulfilled quickly. lntense desire can frustrate you or make you
prayerful. In prayerfulness, there is gratitude and devotion. Any
intense experience makes you whole.
Your consciousness is like corn. With the heat of Knowledge,
consciousness pops ups and becomes white and fluffy.

Everyone is a teacher
Everyone is a teacher - Talk by H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
*Teacher*
Everyone is a teacher you know that?
Like everyone is a son or a daughter or a brother or a sister, everyone is a
teacher. Everyone becomes a teacher at some point of time. One who wants
nothing but the growth of the disciple and one who is happy with the growth
of the disciple is a Guru. He is the one who does something to uplift
someone. That does not mean from tomorrow you go to somebody and say "Ok now
I am your Guru, you do 'SO HUM".
The whole exercise is to become 'Nobody' from 'Somebody'. In that little
role of that somebody you can play the role of a teacher. We need to be
simple and natural human beings. As you move on the spiritual path,
different ability dawns in you.
You know you can bless people and heal people, but you should not use all
these abilities to your own use. As you bless people, most of the times you
are surprised by what happened, right? If happens, so what? One must not pay
too much attention. These are certain things you should not exhibit. Should
not say, "Look I can bless, I can heal", as it simplicity counts. Bhavukta
is very important. Never go to a level!
Must move on.. you know like if a professor is behaving like a professor all
the times, how would it be? He comes home and he starts behaving like a
professor with his wife and his children! Do not be a teacher all the
time.Your family will find it difficult then! Your family will be tired of
you and say 'Oh there he started!'
You know once a couple came to attend a Basic Course. Every time the teacher
told a point, say, 'Accept people as they are', the husband would
immediately turn to the wife and say, "Look haven't I told you this before.
That's what I am telling you all the time". He is telling his wife but not
applying that to himself! Honor everyone. Be natural, and at the same time
know the depth of meditation.
