Chapter 2 - Neither Yes Nor No  Day 18  Brahman is without form. There is a difference between Brahman and Brahma. Brahma is a personified Brahman. Brahman is the Cosmic Existence. While Brahman is complete, Brahma has a limited role. Brahma is a devata, Brahma at man or Self.  The Self has no form yet It lives in all forms. They have described how Brahman is pure and blemish less. Like space cannot be polluted but you can pollute everything else. Space doesn't move, yet everything moves in space.

This is what happens most of the time. Sometimes people ask me if I am angry with them. They say that I didn' smile at them or talk to them in the crowd, and feel that I am angry at them. But why would I be angry at them? There are so many people in crowd. I smile at some, and pass a bigger smile to some others who have a long face so that they also smile. But smiling at some doesn't mean I am angry with others. Many times, we project our own emotions on others, especially when we love someone. If you are angry or upset at others, you think that others are angry and upset at you. Here, knowledge of the self is very important, so that you can have a balanced perception. With the knowledge, you know what is happening inside you, and you know what is happening inside others. That clarity of percepti...

Sydney 03 Apr 1996  Australia 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. 🌸Jai Guru Dev🌸 ३ अप्रैल,१९९६ सिडनी, ऑस्ट्रेलिया आसक्ति आसक्ति श्वास में व्यग्रता लाती है और यह व्यग्रता मन की शांति ले लेती है। तब तुम बिखर जाते हो, टूट जाते हो और दुःख के शिकार हो जाते हो। इससे...
