The topic of this post is the crux of what led to a half-left discussion with my friends. I was having lunch with them when a sudden intellectualization of their thoughts began to come out in words. Just putting forward this parable as QnA, thereby, completing that discussion ;) and that would be one of the reasons how my love for this blog nurtured surreptitiously :)
PS: There are two answers to each ques. The first one was my instant reaction in words and the second one, perhaps was going at the back of my mind!
Q: How can you justify every teaching of your Guru?
A1: I dont judge it as right or wrong! Right or wrong is nothing but an allegory of the mind and may vary from person to person.
A2: To whom to justify, to me or to you? If its to me, it becomes easy coz my mind never asks for one. It is one level, up or below, whatever you take it as! It digests all, what is positive of discrimination. If its to you, it becomes easier even. There are two ways. Either accept me as I am, but that would be hard for you bcoz you need to judge and intellectualize that. So the only left option is repeat the YES!+ to intertwine your innocence and this time do some more warms ups so that you shall be able to take it complete and not leave it in between !!
Q: You are being a diplomat ! Don't you need to judge what is good or bad?
A1: How does rigidity of thoughts help? Hard bounding everything is nothing but a sign of limited conciousness of your years on earth.
A2: Being a diplomat is gud, no? (dictionary meaning: a person who is tactful and skillful in managing delicate situations..lol). Perfect judgement, either u accept it or not, will corroborate only in case you are God. When there is doubt, only then the stage of judgement comes and then the categorization to good or bad. And when you know, u do !! You can always put it safely as 'good for you' or 'bad for you' coz that is when you are limited to your definitions.
Q: We always put things as good or bad and then accept. We dont even listen to our parents in one go. You cant keep accepting blindly whatever he says ?(oh, i dint even reached the level of sanity of this one)
A1: I do listen and consider my parents words in one go. No more negativity please ( I m on diet. No heavy things@lunch) ! Lets go.
A2: Isn't love blind? It is. lol.
Q: How can you classify positivity and negativity? You said there is no good or bad.
A1: There is a difference between positive-negative and good-bad.
A2: Did your ever hear your medical reports saying you are good or bad, its always positive or negative! Sounds weird logic? Best remedy is dont go by logic.
Q: What is the difference between good-bad and positive-negative?
A1: Good Bad relates to when you are rigid in categorizing them according to your optimum level of intellect. While, Positive Negative is not at the level of judgement, but at the level of energy, vibes, intuition.
A2: Good question finally. Postive and negative are more born out of emotions and emotion is Energy-in-Motion. It is a way of expressing oneself in life. It is the quality of how one relates to life. It should more be understood as a description of the main action. Judging and putting it either as "good" or "bad" isn't very helpful. Doubt is what opposes confidence. Once you eliminate the negative, you will see that the positive has already happened and that is how you tackle your emotions !
PS: Not forgetting to mention, I love them both though ! (This clarification go's only for people exceptionally bad at discerning things )
PPS: Do comment, it encourages me to write more :)
Lots of Love,
