Dear Guru ji, What is required for one to become a teacher?
Willingness
Pundit ji, how can one overcome a broken heart?
How to overcome a broken heart? How do you do that?
Hmm
Wake up and see the truth of life
What are you hanging on to? What breaks your heart?
Someone's behaviour? Someone's words? Haan?
Weakness of the heart should be shunned
and truth need to be known. What is truth?
Everything in the world changes
and everything is going to change
has changed, will change in the future
And you are going to drop your own body which you love so much
All your life, all that you do, spend so much money
put the cream here, put the cream there
put the lipstick every two hours, every hour
and take care of this body, it's not going to listen to you one day
and you want to move your hand, you cannot move, you want to lift your eyes, you cannot
open your eyes, you want to say something, your tongue will not move
whole body will strike and then you simply have to exit of this body
you exit dejected, frustrated because the body is totally
rebellious to your commands.
And the body will not listen whatever you say, you want to do
And when you had to exit and you exit
from the body you see it's like a waste material
Nobody would like to get into it again
Such is the truth of life, everything is going
to disappear, everybody is going to die
You are going to die. The person who broke your heart is going to die as well.
So as long as you are alive, wake up and do something good
Forget about it.
Be bold, courageous
Aan...so and so said this thing, oh so and so did
like this, oh so and so misbehaved with me, what misbehaved
You needed it.
That makes you strong.
Be like a lion.
Roar like a lion.
Upset...oh this gone, that gone
Joy comes and goes, misery comes and goes
Your pleasure...you are hanging on to pleasure, and your pleasure cannot stay forever
sustain you all the time
so pleasure, pain, all this comes and goes in life
what is the big deal about broken heart
Know for sure you love everybody and everyone loves you
whatever their words are, their behaviours are, wherever
Never doubt in the love.
Love is some thing like space, it can never diminish
it can never go away. That's true love.
All this 'ya ya ya ya' of the mind
Good for nothing.
Don't waste your precious life in all that
"I'm broken heart, I'm broken heart"
If your limbs get broken, you can put
What do you call it? Plaster? Cast it, plaster it
The heart gets broken, you wake up, it's never broken.
It's rubber. Your heart, make it like rubber, not a glass.
Glass heart can break with little heat or little cold.
Make your heart elastic like rubber
And that's what the knowledge does, transform your heart.
transform your mind, transform your actions.
Feeling so lucky to be in this knowledge.
Isn't it? How many of you feel absolutely lucky?
Beloved master, I am tired of feeling wrong
and don't know how to give it up when so many "You're wrong" messages come from my environment
I don't like annoying or offending people and I'm sensitive to looks or tones of displeasure
Historically, I have simply isolated myself
But now, I am more in the world and find myself responding
to others' annoyance with me by wanting to again withdraw
because I can't be right enough, to keep from stepping on toes
In the DSN course, we were asked to give and take criticism and to listen
carefully, joyfully even, when another criticized us
Even if their criticism was inaccurate
Some criticisms have very harsh consequences
such as the situation you described on Saturday evening, where a prominent businessman
is losing his reputation and probably income
Is there any point at which it is appropriate to stop taking criticism joyfully
and speak up for oneself? Do I need to go
live away from others because I can't be right enough?
I'm tired of feeling that my well intentioned actions need defending when the
outcome goes wrong or another judges the outcome wrong.
Please share your wisdom with me and I'll try to do it right.
Your grateful, if weary, disciple.
Hmm
It's the yoga, the asana, meditation, all this pranayama,
this improves your skill in action
Your intentions are right, but your action goes wrong
There is some gear shift has happened. For that,
you gain the skill by knowledge, by being in knowledge
but don't think you have not progressing. You are progressing.
For sure. Turn back and see. How dull you were, 10 years ago
and how you are, today.
There is an improvement. There is a proverb in Hindi,
It says
By spoiling many times, even a donkey can become God.
Spoiling means.............that
like in the milk it spoils, it becomes curd, and curd gets spoiled,
broken, it becomes butter, butter gets broken, it becomes ghee
So there is always, in every breaking up,
there is always something good coming out of it.
So in the same way, if a mistake has happened, from the mistake something
good can come out.It doesn't mean you should keep doing mistakes.
See, so in every miserable situation, something better can come out of it.
Hmm. Sit Down. Yeah
