Our present state is that we are not able to see the common denominator. So we think we are other than the others. That is why we are capable of hurting others. Knowingly we never hurt our own body. Since we do not know we are all One, we are able to hurt others. 



Om Sri Ram jai Ram jai jai Ram


We are trying to understand the difference between the kshetra and kshetragna...The difference between the body and the knower of the body.


Our present state is that we are not able to see the common denominator. So we think we are other than the others. That is why we are capable of hurting others. Knowingly we never hurt our own body. Since we do not know we are all One, we are able to hurt others. 


In deep sleep, we have no thought , hence no sense of otherness. Thought brings the sense of otherness. 


The process is first from me to we. Then from we to Him.


When we reach the state, we will not be able to explain. Because the entity that explains is not there. 


Mind conceives a goal. The true goal cannot be conceived. Our body attachment resulting in our attitude towards the world outside, does not allow us to conceive the goal properly.


In the body , so many actions are going on. The power which is propelling all these. 


So to move forward towards the goal, we are asked to hold on to values .... Slowly values will lead us to the realm beyond the thought. Anything that is within the ambit of thought, is not the goal. 


Only way is to plead with Him, "I am not able to go beyond the thought, so please help me..."


We have to watch ourselves. The greatest roadblock is the Gunas or qualities that is satvik quality, rajas quality and tamas quality (satvik------serene, rajas----over active, tamas-----------inertia or laziness)



Vinobaji says we must wound the satvik nature while completely destroy the rajas and tamas nature...


Because  satvik quality , though good, brings pride that I am Satvik..


So ultimately Bhakti helps. The path is to move from me to we . And then from we to Him....

Papa always speaks of universal vision...He assures us that it is possible...


******* ******* ******* ******* *******

"You have provided everything and I in my ignorance, say that I am a self made man...You allow this too..."


******* ******* ******* ******* *******


When we are firm, He will make us come across such people who are personification of Oneness or Non-otherness.


******* ******* ******* ******* *******


We must be able to segregate the sense of individuality or body from the Spirit. We do not miss Papa, though we have not even seen Him. It is because we know He is the spirit. In the gospel, we see that , Papa was just like anyone of us but he had segregated the body from the Spirit.

Next few days till Beloved Papa's samadhi day, on the 13th August, we will dwell on the different facets of Papa.. With the background, "I am the knower of the field (body) and not the field."
