- Point of vue
"One and only" is valid from one's own point of view.
If one looks from only that point, how does one know the other is wrong?
"All right" - is also from one point of view!
For, naturally one then recognises that the "one and only" view is also tight.
Thus the "all are right" man errs when he condemns the "one and only" man.
The latter is childish when he judges others!
If the "all are right" one avoids the others, it is not out of exclusiveness, but because of the sheer impossibility of an elephant being accommodated in a mouse-hole.
- Right knowledge
The Self is entirely independent and exists without the need for anything or anybody else.
Let wrong knowledge go by turning on the light of right knowledge.
Chase foolish thoughts away by looking within; when desire, attachment and clinging infatuation go, fear and anger go too.
Only if we have a guilty conscience need we have frar in our heart.
And if you are not depending upon God but upon yourself, then there is also fear.
- Past and Present
You cherish your father's wealth and not the inherited disease.
If you have inherited unhealthy customs too, shake them off.
- Mental Penance
True mental penance is to deny the mind what it wants.
You must feel miserable for a time, otherwise you are cheating yourself.
But there it can become very tricky.
If you become happy that you are miserable, it is then not mental penance but boosting the ego.
- Perception
Perception is not immediately correct.
At night I see the moon on the earth!
Has it fallen from the sky? No. It is reflected in water.
Perception does not imply truth you have to use reasoning too!
