- Master and Slave
Mind wants to experience objects. The soul in ignorance identifies itself with mind and hence with desires and experiences. First you want to enjoy them as their master and then you are enslaved by them.
- Charity
Three planes in charity.
Egotistic - it is good for me to do it.
Duty - it must be done.
Surrender - I cannot help it - His Will.
- Insult
It is a pleasure to listen to insult.
It gives us an opportunity to see ourselves as other see us.
Thank you.
- Visualisation and Realsation
It is exactly like sculpture.
The sculptor looks at a stone and visualises an image - not imagines.
You know the difference by the result.
In imagination, the image vanishes - in visualisation the image is realised as actuality.
The sculptor uses chisel and hammer.
The yoga student uses concentration and mantra.
- Guest is God
The guest comes walking and the host politely and gracefully tell him to come in after washing his feet. At the same time they adopt the motto: Guest is God. They wave the lighted camphor which floats on coloured water and which has a message - 'You and I may be like fire and water, we may be otherwise opposed to each other and may have our differences, but let us dwell in unity when you are my guest!'
