CONFLICT AND INNOCENCE
Fights can only happen among equals. When you fight with someone, you make
them equal. But in reality there is no one at par with you. When you keep
people either above or below you, then there is no fight.
When they are above you, you respect them.
When they are below you, you love them and you feel compassionate.
Either submission or compassion can take you out of a fight in no time. This
is one way to look at it when you are tired of fighting. When you are well
rested, just fight and have fun.
The same is true of the mind. As long as the mind thinks it is equal to the
senses, there is conflict. When it realizes that it is bigger than the
senses, there is no conflict. And when the mind is smaller than the senses,
like in animals, there is no conflict. When the mind is caught up in the
senses, there is constant conflict. When it transcends the senses, it comes
back to its true nature, which is innocence - in no sense.
Does this make sense? (Laughter)
Growing Presence
Glowing Presence
Here is an interesting experience shared by an architect who worked on the stage for Guruji's program in Argentina.
He had not heard of Guruji before taking up the assignment for the designing of the stage. The rest of the story along with the pics is enclosed here.
