Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 so, brother, you have the potential of doing a lot of good by your tremendous capacity to feel if you allow that aspect to grow. it will be very nice if you try to take up something pertaining to social service too. reach out to human beings, and feel their pain, give them hope and love. i am sure you will do well there and it will be a very cleansing experience. i am not talking about the american style of donating money to charity. thought it too has it's own value. failing all else try to pray for others including people you have a hard time with. try and send positive waves, love in their direction. that way you no longer are the slave of their wrath. returning it will only tie both of you in a chain of cause and effect further. and do neither of you any good. (this is something i was once told by vijay and i think he deserves the credit for the idea here.)hatred is not the quality of a noble soul. i recenty try to follow a policy. it stems from the simple knowledge (which i took years to acquire) that any negative emotion in me for others does the maximum harm to me. i am not very spiritually advanced so i cannot return bitterness with love. so i simply follow the easier path of staying away from them, and not allowing myself to think about them at all. do not focus on being thought of as an a noble soul, try to just imbibe "karo karm apni thour". i once mentioned that i heard from a noble soul that if you really wish to do good to some one with your advice or words, do it in a way ki "ahem ki boo na ho. aise bolo ki appne andar hi andar prerna ho rahi hai aur shabd muh se apne aap nikalte jaa rahe hain". and God knows i too have a hard lesson to learn here, so am not trying to act holier than though. sat sangha is important. yet, sat sangha is rarely found so easily. neither are you in a position to provide sat sangha to me, nor i to you. let us not live in these illusions. and you will find it at places it surprises you. the maid working in your home if a blessed soul, may be able to provide better spiritual guidance than a lot of wise men put together. because spiritual advancement has got nothing to do with education, with money, with talking, or as it is called the "gift of the gab". > > i believe that decorum of this site has to maintained ,so keeping > this in mind ,if anyone has anyproblems in future, try to post to > their personal email id. should you not have said this to your "secret" admirer who was down to malign your guru bhais and placed you way above all others?? may god bless you with the divine elixir we all seek. may you be able to rise above pettiness of all kind, pettiness in you and in others. may others too be able to drop their grudges and think of you as a beloved brother once again. god bless you again. good luck jai gurudev anu as i said i am busy, and not inclined very much towards any discussions. so if i do not happen to visit issp and post a reply please excuse me.
