NON - VIOLENCE🔗

Always works at the individual level

(In response to a question regarding violence in the world.)

As individuals, each of us can work better and can take more initiative towards reducing violence. This issue can never be discussed and resolved. Each of us can think of how we ourselves can contribute, that's all. Each of you think how you can abstain from violence. When you are walking on the street, avoid plucking flowers or breaking twigs off trees. This way the collective load of violence can be reduced. Don't discuss why society cannot be changed.

Within you

If you continuously live in the past or the future, you are not present inside your system. When you are not present inside your system, the energy flow inside your system does not happen totally and properly. Blood flow has nothing to do with energy flow. Energy flow is deeper. If you live in the present, the energy flow will be there. If your presence is not there, then the energy flow will not be there. If the energy flow is perfect, your intelligence will be perfect. Spontaneity will be there. You will have the ability to respond spontaneously.

Icba, kriya, gnana

(In response to a question: how can we balance our life?)

Only by balancing your desires... Iccha, kriya and gnana are the 3 energies: to desire, to work and to be. It is difficult to understand the last, which happens when you meditate. 80% is spent on iccha only, in desiring; only 20% in working towards the desires. When you bring gnana or wisdom into it, the proportion reverses. 20% is used to desire and 80% to create. Balancing your iccha and kriya shaktis will balance your life. Handle the energy, not the activities. Automatically all your desire levels will be handled effectively.

HOME

(In response to a question: how do you distinguish between conscious and unconscious activities?)

In unconscious activities you will have discomfort; you wish to be doing something else; you can be sure that when you are here, you are not HERE. In conscious activities, there is no pull or push; you are relaxed; you are at home. In unconscious activities, you are lonely, you are in your house.
