Forgiveness is dropping your right to Hate the person who has Hurt you
The most enriching DSN that helped me look at Ego and Forgiveness in a totally new way.
Well We all know that some times we do things to satisfy a wakeful ego, a sleepy ego and a sleeping latent ego.
And justifying why we did it to people who are affected by our actions seems to equate the other half of the time we spend. So in all... we are running around in circles. A very mundane poit that many people say.. deal with your ego. I say, how am I supposed to wage this guerilla warfare without knowing what my ego feels like. I was running around looking for this pivottal piece to the puzzle.. Ram ji's DSN was somehow the solution to all my questions. It only reinforced my belief that; If you are looking for a solution to a burning problem with all your being, you will have to look no further... There was both ego busting and boosting events that made me aware of my ego...the deep and intensive sadhna had heightened our awareness..and the Surrender process, broke down the battlements my Ego had built up. Once this happened, a series of fiascos followed with everyone i loved..and they all seemed to want to rant and rave at me all at once...
It was then that the knowledge point came across..wanting proof of their love and expecting them to understand my feelings always seemed to always be the problem.."they cant do this to me" started dissolving and it was an amazing sight to watch..like seeing the Siachen melt at Leh in early summer..a slow meandering but steady and sure process...Its only when we think; "if they can do that to me, then two can play that game"... are we volunteering to pick up the garbage they have scattered all over...Let the garbage be and walk away.. and trust that the world loves you.. Believe me; you will be amazed to find that it does!!!
JGD!

Move to the Center
The master said:
And I wondered:
Aho! Mere Silence and Real Wonder!!
Expending of the senses on the one side, its really funny how we think that the object is giving us the experience. More food, booze, perfumes, music all the time, lust...every single thing in the world that the senses can perceive, we have converted into a viable avenue for exploitation..Starting from "All you can eat" buffets to chocolate shops festooned with banners of indulgence.. it has always given us more reason to believe that the joy of eating chocolates is in the chocolates itself. And then the senses are limited... and so is their capacity to enjoy.. you can only have so much ice-cream, meat, sex, fragrance...and then the organs tire down out of over usage and hurtle us into depression and exhaution...Awareness is what helps i think..and active inaction to strong impulses.. it has helped many times... I wonder!! Its more a journey than a destination as a famous writer might have remarked...
From the object move on to the Center, move on to the Experiencer of pleasure.
This is the way to have a continued experience, continued joy in life.

Our Presence and Service
The master said:
..And I wondered.
Every atom in the universe is related to another.. and there is so much detailed macro-intelligence in every seemingly "automatic" occurrence in the world.
Well, there are few who live their little lives without realizing the need to be of assitance to some one, nor realizing this divine intelligence in every cell of the universe. Then there are people who know and are doing a lot of good work; with or without the frills. And finally there are people who are ever-ready to be of assitance. Their very attitude enlivens and energises one so much! Every learned civilization talks about this..being at beckon call is also a service in its own..
So to say, a piece of silence is also music when interjected between the right syllables of rhythm or tune.. And probably thats what John Milton wanted to say, when he said "They also serve, who only stand and wait"
The mere presence of the sun brings all the activity in the world. In the same way, your mere presence is a service, is the goal. There is no gain, no loss, no purpose, no defeat.
