drgagannagi,
Are these men gona do something ? No.
The wise man is not interested -- in fact, he will
not be inclined to be dragged into this mess. You will
have to persuade him.
-
mess? who is a mess?
a women has to be impressed by a man and here i am. persuading people.
-
drgagannagi,
mess? no.
who is a mess? who has lost her equilibrium because of lacking temperance.
Whatsoever happens
is God's will. If a man is needed then he will have
to come, that is the way God wants it to be. But your
mind can play tricks with you. You can't just be a
nobody. You can't accept the fact of anonymity.
-
so, you mean i have lost my equilibrium? how do i gain temperence?
how to maintain anonymity?
-
drgagannagi,
so, you mean i have lost my equilibrium? no.
how do i gain temperence? by living as if today would be the last day of your life.
how to maintain anonymity? by being perseveringly aware of danger.
Once a conclusion is reached, mind feels at ease --
hence so many philosophies exist. All philosophies
exist to fulfill a need: the mind asks and the mind
cannot remain with the question, it is uneasy; to
remain with the question feels inconvenient. An answer
is needed -- even if it is false it will do; mind is
put at rest.
-
so i have to control my mind? i have to think less? i have to let it be? not try to find an answer always?
-

Thanks.
-
drgagannagi,
so i have to control my mind? yes.
i have to think less? no.
i have to let it be? no.
not try to find an answer always? yes.
A miserly Marwari died. He went straight to the gates
of heaven and knocked. He was confident that the gate
would open for him, for had he not given alms? The gate
opened and the sentry looked him over from head to
foot. There people are recognized by their actions but
for themselves. The sentry said, " Sorry, sir, but
there has been a mistake. Perhaps you did not know that
you had to knock at the other door. Kindly go there."
The Marwari fumed. "How dare you!" he exclaimed. "Do
you not know who I am? Have you not heard of my alms?
Why, only yesterday I gave two paisa to an old beggar
woman, and the day before I gave one paisa to a blind
newspaper boy."
When he spoke of alms the guard had to open his
ledger. He scanned the page under the Marwari's name,
but except for these three paisa the page was a blank.
He asked, "What other alms have you given besides
these?"
"Plenty, plenty," replied the Marwari, "Only I cannot
recall them right now." Imagine someone who doesn't
forget a paltry three paise saying that he cannot
remember! And on the strength of these three paisa he
knocks at the gates of he knocks at the gates of
heaven!
The guard consulted with his associate as to what
should be done with this man. His colleague said, "Give
him his three paisa and tell him to go to hell!"
-
laetitiali,
Is there any future for us? No.
What does he fell about me? That you are full of grief and rigidity.
Or is it over? Yes.
Don´t let yourself be upset, rather upset yourself.
-
what does the story of thew marwari supposed to tell me?
also the two new men , they are playing hide and seek, i hear from them, then i don't. whats on their mind?
-
drgagannagi,
the four little stars meant: h e l l .
what does the story of thew marwari supposed to tell me? Such overcaution is no mistake.
also the two new men , they are playing hide and seek, i hear from them, then i don't. whats on their mind? just pretending.
If you are sensitive, you would like variety, in
everything you would like variety. You would like to
see the whole world and you would like to see many more
people, because each person is such a unique gift of
god that he has something nobody else has. That
something you can see only through him; that aspect of
god is revealed only through him, through nobody else.
-
just pretending, what are they pretending about ? why are they pretending?
-
drgagannagi,
just pretending, what are they pretending about ? proper understanding.
why are they pretending? because you are not the only one.
The mystery is not destroyed, only pushed back. The whole
of questions has pushed the mystery back. It has not been
able to demystify it. Neither have all the answers of
me been able to demystify; you have
got answers for everything, but all your questions are
pseudo.
-
they are pretending to have proper understanding with me? why wud they do that if its not real?
im not the only one. in their life? they r dating others too?
should i be investing my time n emotions in them? r they serious?
what questions of mine are pseudo? n how do u think i don't understand your answers? i do.
-
drgagannagi.
they are pretending to have proper understanding with me? no.
why wud they do that if its not real? because they resist certain methodologies.
im not the only one. in their life? yes.
they r dating others too? no.
should i be investing my time n emotions in them? yes, certainly.
r they serious? no.
what questions of mine are pseudo? those questions which fight against that what is.
n how do u think i don't understand your answers? receive them more playfully.
Marx says that it is the society that is responsible
for all the ills that you are suffering. You are not
responsible: it is the class-divided society, it is the
economic structure. Freud says it is not the economic
structure but the conditioning that has been given to
you by the parents, by the society, by education, by
the priest, by the church. It is the conditioning:
that's why you are suffering; you are not responsible.
This is the old game. In the past it was called the
'game of fate': fate is responsible, you are not
responsible. This is the same game played with new
names and new labels, but the trick is that you are not
responsible. Of course, one feels a little bit happier,
but nothing changes. Sooner or later that happiness
disappears because the cause remains where it was, the
wound remains. How does it matter who has wounded you?
Just by knowing that your mother has wounded you -- or
your father or the society or the church -- how does it
matter? The wound is there, full of pus, growing,
becoming bigger every day. You can feel a little bit
good for the moment, unburdened: so you are not
responsible, you are just a victim. You can sympathize
with yourself. You can feel pity for yourself and you
can feel anger for others, for those who have created
the wound, but this is not a way of transformation: the
wound is there and the wound will continue to grow. The
wound does not bother about what you think about it;
your thinking makes no difference to the wound.

Yes I Have Wounds, parents n family say it was my destiny....i fight against it all the time....I think i have to take the reigns in MY hand!
so what isw the ACTUAL way in which I can get off my wounds? By working my way to get rid of them MYSELF?
MY wounds are:
Uncomplete education/ Failing in exams which were very important to me
Failed marriage
Rejection in love
People trying to lessen my self esteem
Not making the choice to go with tradition or my heart
-
drgagannagi,
so what isw the ACTUAL way in which I can get off my wounds? by no more being identified with your desires.
By working my way to get rid of them MYSELF? Yes.
You have seen through things about which you had
hopes, but now you can see that all hopes are baseless.
that nothing is going to happen, that one can go on
hoping and one day one dies. And everything fails:
money fails, relationship fails, friendship fails;
everything, sooner or later. Everything comes to a dead
end, to a cul-de-sac, and then one is stuck. Just
somehow, to go on, one drags oneself and starts doing
something else. One has to do something, otherwise life
will be too much of a burden, so one keeps oneself
occupied. But one knows deep down that all is futile,
that it is a tale told by an idiot.
That's what has happened, and it is beautiful. It is
the beginning of transformation. You are a
disillusioned being, and only a disillusioned being can
search. When the world has no hope for you, you can go
inward -- when the outside has failed utterly, and I
say utterly... even if a slight hope is there then you
will go on searching, then some illusion remains.
-
fight the wounds by no more being identified by your desires. what does it mean?
should i leave my hopes even professionally? should i struggle to work for the career that i wanted to or settle in for a career that comes my way easily?
getting free of wounds by letting go of your hopes about what u wanted?
when one is utterly disillusioned, one goes inside. what happens then? what islife after that?
i think that has already happened with me hans by your daily readings. what will happen next? what will be?
-
drgagannagi,
what does it mean? going on your own way, following your own light.
should i leave my hopes even professionally? yes.
should i struggle to work for the career that i wanted to or settle in for a career that comes my way easily? neither nor.
getting free of wounds by letting go of your hopes about what u wanted? yes.
what happens then? oppression will being overthrown. But in this situation, oppressors are violently seizing power. Pay special heed of a situation of which you are totally unaware. You are about to be blindsided.
what islife after that? being bound with bands of your own thinking.
what will happen next? you will show something to the outside what you yourself are not.
what will be? going on your own way, following your own light.
How we are fixed in words!
