Weekly Knowledge 55 Canadian Ashram 26 Jun 1996  Canada JUDGEMENTS AND GOOD COMPANY Though you have heard "don't judge," judgement comes unavoidably in day-to-day life.  By the actions and behaviors of people, you either approve or disapprove. But always remember that everything is changing, and do not hold onto the judgement. Otherwise your judgement gets solidified like a rock. It brings misery for you and for others. If judgements are lighter like air, like a breeze, they bring in fragrance, then move away. They could bring a foul smell, then move away. They should not stay there forever. Judgements are so subtle that you are not even aware of their existence. Judging or labeling someone as judgmental is also a judgement. Only in the state of Being when you are full of love and compassion can you ever be free from all judgements. Yet the world cannot move without judgements. Until you judge something as good or bad, you cannot do any actions. If you see rotten apples i...

Weekly Knowledge 54 Somewhere in Beautiful British Columbia 19 Jun 1996  Canada WHEN WE ARE JOYFUL  When we are joyful, we don't look for perfection. If you are looking for perfection then you are not at the source of joy. Joy is the realization that there is no vacation from wisdom. The world appears imperfect on the surface but underneath, all is perfect. Perfection hides; imperfection shows off.  The wise will not stay on the surface but will probe into the depth. Things are not blurred; your vision is blurred. Infinite actions prevail in the wholeness of consciousness. And yet the consciousness remains perfect, untouched. As Satsangees, realize this now and be at Home.  Koan (riddle) of the week: You better straighten out and become we. We are always one and you could be two.

Chapter 7 - Merging With The Divine  Day 59 The scriptures which talk about love will have to be learned and heard, understood and digested. And the actions that they say there will have to be followed. Here Narada says this, because you can say that this also is a logic.  'If you say you don’t have to apply logic, that is also logic. Say, yes, yes, of course, I say no need of studying books and scriptures and this and that, but still you need something, so learn these sutras, learn this knowledge. When you are listening to it, just don’t think you have listened to it once, and finished.  These 84 sutras that he has said here, listen to them again and again, because every time you hear it, every time you practice it, it takes you deeper, it uplifts you to another level. Knowledge is structured in consciousness. And as you grow, your consciousness expands, the knowledge also changes.  You need to do all the service activity and the actions that have been prescribed in...

Chapter 7 - Merging With The Divine  Day 58 Logic has many possibilities. You can use the same logic to prove something or to disprove something ask lawyers. Any point can be taken to prove something or to disprove the same thing. There are so many possibilities in logic. I have said earlier there are three types of logic. One is Tarka which means pure logic. And then Kutarka, wrong logic. And Vitarka is qualified logic.  I will give you an example. If a door is halfopen, that means it is halfshut that is logic. Wrong logic - if the door is half open, we agree it is half closed. So if it is fully open, then it must be fully closed. This is called kutarka, wrong logic. The flower is on the table and the table is on the floor, so the flower is on the floor. This is wrong logic.  Through this wrong logic, or Kutarka, only ignorance increases. And Vitarka is such a logic, such an inference, it simply amazes you. “Who am I?What is this all about? What is life? Who are You? Who...
