Question time again!

Question time again!

So, be confident of your understanding at this stage. Only if you are sure of your reasoning here can you move further on. And at every level, answer has various shades and angels to it. When you receive or pool all understanding and perspectives you have a larger picture. You also learn to see the question from various angles next time. And over the period you would cover more area than now and that would be your achievement or proof of your growth. Because every reasoning and understanding reflects your priorities, your perspective, your stand and principles and all this put together reflect who you are at a given point of time. And this growth reflects in your life, your inner peace, your stance too!

One more point when you are answering don’t answer to please me or think “I should give an answer that she wants to listen”. There is no such answer. Give an answer that reflects your opinion, how you feel, how you would react/respond in that given situation and your understanding of that/such person/s or situation. As long as your answer depends on pleasing others your character is in doldrums. Just imaging if you say “show me the person and I’ll frame you the rule” then that rule is no rule – it is being hypocritical, playing to the gallery, trying to please the other and these qualities take us away from “Dharma” and any character which is not based on “Dharma” is no character. My principles can’t be wavering. If they are, then it means I don’t have one. Remember that! So answer only what you ‘think’ is right or how you would feel or react not what I want to listen.

This honesty over the period of time will itself give you strength to work towards Dharma eventually. So relax!

So I repeat regarding answering “Don’t fake it”.

There are enough of ‘dhongi sadhus’ out there fooling people and themselves with these types of answers. Its better I don’t have any student than have some who become experts in churning out answers that pleases the ears of the listener.

And whatever be the reason for which I am asking you these questions like – my leela, I am in mental distress or any reason that you can churn out – don’t give weightage to that. Whatever be the reason your answer should be same. So just remember your ‘way of thinking’ and how you would react while answering such questions. That’s all!

And will wait till others come with their explanations and see if I have to cover any base. Till then keep reasoning, question right and sharing.......

P.S: your every answer pleases me if that is what you want to hear!
