ATTACHMENTS
*
Attachments cause feverish breath and feverish breath takes away peace of
mind. Then you are in pieces and fall prey to misery. Before you get
scattered too much, gather yourself and rid your breath of the feverishness
through surrender and *sadhana.* Unfortunately most people do not notice
this until it is too late.
When someone is drowning in the ocean of attachments, surrender is the life
jacket they can put on and wait for the rescue team. Without fighting the
attachments, observe the feverish breath and go to the cool place of silence
within. Your first step in this direction is directing your attachment to
the Knowledge, to the Divine.
*
Your non-attachment to the mundane is your charm. Your attachment to the
Divine is your beauty.

Guruji was sitting at the airport in Perth, Western Australia when he asked
Joy what she did. She said, "I am an interior decorator." He said, "Oh, we
do the same job."

JAI GURU DEV :)
THE GOLDEN WRAPPING
Someone gave Guruji a gift wrapped in golden wrapping paper which
lead to.......... ......... ..
Guruji saying -
In the ancient scriptures, the Upanishads there is a prayer which goes 'Oh God, please unveil the golden package (and reveal the truth)'. Two things prevent you from knowing the truth - sorrow (In case of sorrow, you are not interested in knowing the truth) or charms and illusions of the world that keep you away from the Truth. It is neither craving for it nor being averse to it - simple recognition of the truth.
Most people are enchanted by the golden wrapping paper - they don't open it and thus remain unaware of the truth within. Then Guruji went about opening the gift and then said "The truth when revealed is not anything serious but it is fun!!!" and guess what was the gift a picture book of Lucy !!! (from the comedy series - I Love Lucy)
