Expand your perception

When somebody comes here to learn from me, the first thing I do is expand their perception, their capability to look into past, present, future, outer space and inner space. Please understand, if somebody is screaming at you, if you start immediately hating that person, your perception is too small in the outer space. But if you can wait and look into the pattern from which he is shouting, and respond only to that pattern, you have expanded perception. Same way, in your inner world, if you just go behind your instinct, again that is reduced perception. Instead you need to wait, watch, how ball rolls inside your inner space, how you respond from your pattern, how you try to fulfil something which can never be fulfilled, how you try to run behind something which is never your praarabdha. I have seen people with narrow perception suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer and destroy themselves.
See, the whole spirituality is nothing but expanding your perception. Naturally, when I start expanding your perception, immediately you lose something inside you, and start feeling, Oh God! then there is something more! It shakes your whole being. Especially when I awaken your kundalini, the larger yearning, deeper discontentment, suffocation of lower perceptions starts happening in you. So once your kundalini is awakened, try to be around the master in a stable way. Otherwise you will blame the situation for your suffocation. If the seed starts blaming somebody for its suffocation, it will never become a tree.
