Same Scale To Judge Yourself And Others

Please understand, you are not that intelligent to have two minds: one to measure others, and another to measure yourself. You judge yourself in the same manner as how you judge others.

We might think, 'No! When others do that mistake, I will criticize. When I do the same mistake, I will

not criticize myself.' Just observe your life. When you constantly criticize others, whether you want it or not, you will carry that same mental setup. You will continuously be judging yourself and suffering with guilt and inferiority complex.

Anybody who accepts himself will accept everybody. Anybody who is judging and criticizing himself will continuously judge and criticize others.

So whenever people bring me this kind of news, 'He has criticized you, he has disrespected you, he should be punished… tell something Swamiji.' I tell them, 'Relax! We don't need to punish him. He is in that state of consciousness already. He is suffering. He is having enough punishment.'

Please understand, you don't do negative things and then reach hell. You do negative things because you are already in hell!

Part 2: Living Enlightenment

People who are continuously criticizing have one big problem - they create enmity. They are never productive. I have seen many of this kind. They are such lazy people who don't do anything else except criticize. They live in Kali Yuga. That is the worst state to be in.

If you understand that dharma is still alive, that the cosmos functions as per dharma, then you are in Satya Yuga. Cosmos has not changed its way because time has passed. No! When you understand that, suddenly you will see, your inner space will become Satya Yuga. You will start attracting friends and things, everything around you of the same energy, the same consciousness as Satya Yuga.

Understand, the first technique is expressing the shakti (energy) to change whatever you need to change.

The second is expressing the buddhi (intelligence) to accept whatever you cannot change.

The third is an important thing: yukti.
