Jakarta 10 Apr 1996 Indonesia VIVEK When you follow fun, misery follows you . . . When you follow Knowledge, fun follows you. * * * *  If you say that you have no one in this world, then you are disowning me. And if you disown me then I cannot do anything for you.  What is Vivek? Vivek means knowing that everything is changing. Time and again you have to awaken to this -- that the world, the people, our body, our emotions, are constantly changing.  When you experience sorrow, understand that Vivek has been overshadowed.  Question: What am I here for?  Answer: Find out what you are not here for. 1. You are not here to blame. 2. You are not here to cry. 3. You are not here to sleep. 4. You are not here to show off. 5. You are not here to fight. 6. You are not here to be miserable. 7. You are not here to be angry. 8. You are not here to worry. 🌸Jai Guru Dev🌸   १० अप्रैल,१९९६ जकार्ता, इंडोनेशिया विवेक यदि तुम कहते हो कि तुम्हारा इस संसार में कोई नहीं,...
