I Remember the famous S D Burman number......
"Wahan Kaun Hai Tera...Musafir ! Jayega Kahan ?
Dum Lele
Ghadi Bhar...Yeh Chhaiyan Payega Kahan?"
(BEING THE CHOSEN ONES, LET'S REST UNDER THE SHADE Of GURU GRACE)
Observe
your mind. What is happening there?
Constant likes and dislikes. Wanting and not wanting - I want this, I
don?t want
this. Constant debate, fluctuation, cynicism, criticism,
apathy, dejection.
Do you see all these fluctuations?
Are you aware of these things happening
in the mind? For a while, throw off everything. Just sit. What is
happening?
That is dispassion, centering. In true intimacy, there is dispassion.
What big joy can you ever keep? Have
you observed after laughing a lot and
being very excited, that excitement cannot be held in your mind? It feels
awful.
You want to throw off the excitement and just be quite for a while.
Have you had this experience?
Wisdom dawns
the day you recognize that joy is painful. Your dispassion
begins on that day when you notice joy is disturbing, exciting.
You want
to be a little quiet and calm. We have lost that sensitivity. That is why
there is so much craving for joy,
for something bigger. ?Something must be
better for me, something must give me more happiness.? This is
feverishness.
We move from one feverishness to another feverishness. The
pain of joy is feverishness. So you move from this feverishness
to that
feverishness and from that feverishness to this feverishness. It is a
constant struggle.Dispassion is that
delicate balance that is beyond both
joy and sorrow. In dispassion, any great joy can come up and it will not
shake
you. That is enlightenment. Even if you are offered the heavens, you
won?t move an inch from your seat. That is attainment.
Dispassion is the
secret.You can learn techniques and you can learn to meditate. You can
learn many things, but dispassion
you cannot learn. It can only blossom in
your life in time or with the presence of your teacher, your master. There
is
no other way dispassion can blossom. You cannot get it in books. Only
experience will teach you.The highest wisdom that
can ever be achieved on
this planet is dispassion.
Anything can be shaken, but not dispassion. Anything can be
bought, but
not dispassion. If you are dispassionate, if you are centered, nothing
whatsoever can shake you. The only
rich one is the one who is
dispassionate. Otherwise you can be tempted, you can be shaken. If someone
offers you two
million dollars and tells you, ?Do this, do that,? you will
move from your position. But that person can?t move one who
is
dispassionate. Suppose someone comes and says to you, ?You tell this lie
and I?ll give you a million dollars.?
Just imagine what you would do!
Think of it. Your mind will put forward one hundred and one justifications
for whatever
you will do. You?ll say, ?Okay, so what. I?ll say this and it
may be for good and if I get two million dollars, I?ll use
it for the
benefit of the whole humankind. I don?t want it for myself, but I can do
some good work for the whole world.?
Be
Yourself Naturally...........

Question: Guruji, how can we control daydreams?
Sri Sri: Dream
in the night! (laughter)
What is daydreaming? You have a desire but you do not have the faith that you can achieve
your desire - that is what you call daydreaming.
You can control daydreaming by having a strong goal and believing
in it.
Like the scientist who wanted to go to the moon and kept dreaming about it - for him it was the goal of his
life but for others it was daydreaming.
Either you drop that it will not happen or you believe!
When you do
not know yourself, your potentiality, you have no faith and confidence in your dream.
Once you have faith and confidence
in your dream, it is no longer a daydream!
