Chapter 2 
Shloka 14

All material objects have measurement. Upto the sensory level, measurement is possible. Love cannot be measured because it has nothing to do with the senses. Bear with that which you cannot cure. Some can stand huge pain. Some cannot stand even a little.

#######

Children make fuss over small things.... Mother manages with everything patiently.. They don't jump or curse. When the love is there, capacity to bear with everything comes. Absence of love means there will be irritation at every step.

#######

Whatever we see, sheetha-ushna, sukha-dukha, is anitya or impermanent. If we develop titiksha or forbearance, we will not be tossed here and there

#######

Absent mindedly if we open the hot water tap, you will feel the sudden heat, too much

Suppose you expect it to be hot and open the tap, you will not be shocked

Knowing bitter gourd is bitter makes you accept the bitterness more easily

Knowing everything is impermanent helps us accept changes easily

####

When Papa was offered good treatment by Mahadev Prasad, Papa was not getting elated

#####

Suppose we decide to walk without chappal even 10 minutes, initially, we may find it difficult. Slowly the body gets adjusted to it ...

######

For those who are endurant, a cut is nothing. They just apply some herbs and keep quiet about it

#######

The faith that "God gives me the situation which I  can face", helps us a lot.

#######

Even when there is bereavement, we will be able to pass through the agony . 

######

God cannot give the pain that I cannot bear . He has given me the endurance capacity to go through it

######

An Ashram devotee is not able to take a prick to check the blood sugar

######

Ramana Bhagavan had severe pain. He was able to pass through it without making any fuss

#####

The tribals too have lot of endurance. Once an axe slipped from the hand and hit the leg hard . He just went and applied the juice of different leaves and tied it with another big leaf. Over. He was back to work.

######

Lord Krishna --- There is nothing beyond Me. All are tied to me just as pearls are tied to the string. The string is me which is subtle and invisible

######

How do we understand these words of Krishna

Consciousness or Awareness....

On an amavasya night without any lamp, we don't need light to know I am alive

######

If we are aware that someone is  leaving Ashram, they are given a small garland. When there is no difference between a leaf or a flower and a garland, why garland is given. The fact that Mataji introduced it means she wanted us to remember that all are tied to God like flowers tied to string.

######

Body gets dropped but consciousness is there .. flower fades but thread remains

######

Austerity of speech 

Chapter 17 shloka 15

Speech must be agreeable, beneficial, truthful, without causing vexation to others . This is austerity of the speech 

People think it is impossible. 100 percent may not be possible but to a great extent it is possible

######

Suppose there is a rough and tough person who is 24 carrot gold. Their rough words are not disturbing. 

######

2 brothers . One very blunt. Another very formal. They never had any misunderstanding. Because this brother knew that the bluntness    was there along with complete selflessness. Until we are pure, we have to be soft. If we are pure, outer compliance is not required.
