Knowledge

25th February, 1999

Chapter 2 - The Path To The Goal That Is You

Day 87 - Knowledge

You walk until you come to the ocean. You don't walk or run in the ocean - you float and swim. Like this, once you come to the Master, seeking stops, blossoming begins. You seek until you come to the Master. Seeking is a desire. Desire is a thought.

Thoughts are in the mind. The mind is in the big mind. The big mind in me is love. Emotions are ripples in love. Love is all knowledge. Every atom of the big mind is crammed with knowledge. Knowing this, you stop seeking. You are knowledge. Every atom in you is shimmering with Knowledge. In Sanskrit, this is

called go.

Go has 4 meanings :

1. Knowledge

2. Movement

3. Achievement

4. Freedom or liberation

Pal means friend or protector - one who takes care of you. Be a Gopal (go-pal) be a friend in knowledge. Often you become friends by :

1. Gossiping about negative things

2. Complaining

3. Similar cravings or aversions

4. Common enemies or common problems

5. Common goals or common addictions

You become friends with someone because you have something in common. But coming together in knowledge is rare. Be a friend in knowledge. Uplift each other in knowledge. All satsangis are gopals reminding each other of the knowledge, coming together for knowledge. That is Gopal.

Be a protector of this Knowledge. Knowledge is a burden if it robs you of innocence. Knowledge is a burden if it makes you feel you are special. Knowledge is a burden if it gives you an idea that you are wise. Knowledge is a burden if it is not integrated into life. Knowledge is a burden if it does not bring you joy. Knowledge is a burden if it does not set you free.

Knowledge must be properly digested and assimilated. Indigestion of the knowledge leads to development of a subtle ego which has no cure. Subtle ego gives rise to habits that are not life supporting.

Indigestion of Knowledge leads to :

1. Subtle ego

2. Adamancy

3. Tendency to preach

4. Using knowledge for one's own small ends Familiarity without depth or understanding flakiness

5. Disinterest, taking for granted, lack of awareness

6. Heart burn

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

Celebrating Silence

I made a promise to someone but now I know that it was not right. How do I get out of my promise?

Question - Gurudev, I made a promise to someone but now I know that it was not right. How do I get out of my promise?

Gurudev Sri Sri - If the promise you made gives peace to someone then you must fulfill it. If it causes pain both, to you and the other person then just move on. A promise made in ignorance has no importance.

If the heart wants something but my responsibilities prevent me from striving to get that, then what should I do?

Question - Gurudev, if the heart wants something but my responsibilities prevent me from striving to get that, then what should I do?

Gurudev Sri Sri - You should fulfil the responsibilities in life first. You can always listen to the heart a little later and act on it. If you only listen to what your heart says, and do just that, then you will get into trouble.
