- Raga-Dvesha
Cosmic Being exists and Cosmic consciousness knows it. Cosmic elements are its nature, and added to this there is Cosmic illusion. When under its influence, the cell assumes independent individuality. When this Truth is realised, Raga-Dvesha vanishes.
- Maitri-Karuna-Muditha-Upeksha
Maitri-Karuna-Muditha-Upeksha
The fourfold attitude of Maitri-Karuna-Muditha-Upeksha is meant to capture for us the unity that meditation generates within us.
Maitri or friendliness towards our equals prevents exploitation.
Karuna or compassion towards the less fortunate forestalls pity - superiority complex.
Muditha or complacency or vicarious delight guards us against jealousy and inferiority complex.
The All of Mankind is covered by these three.
Evil has a different and difficult approach. Ignore the wicked. Cool your inner fires down.
In a new light you might discover that your judgment or opinion was perhaps wrong; if there is some evil in the other person, you might work on him with love and your own example - never by pitting the other evil with one of your own.
For fault-finding is as great an evil as lust, anger and greed.
- Indivisible duality
The universe is like the ocean in which the fish bodies are formed, preserved and dissolved. The ocean of five elements surrounds us linking the several bodies which are consolidations of the elements. We are really one and indivisible.
Duality and hence individuality illusory. Individuality is indivisible duality.
- Saint
Be ever mindful of your faults and the virtues in others, of your happiness and the unhappiness of others, wishing them happiness.
You are a Saint.
- Criticism
The chimney sends out a lot of smoke at the sky.
But the sky is not polluted by it.
It is only the chimney that grows black and sooty.
Criticism will taint your heart, not mine!
