The path to final liberation is missed if one asks, 'what were they talking about me, when I was gone?' Let them say whatever they want to say. Such questions come up only if one has deceit kapat. To enage in such practice is to cover the self.
It is considered a grave disease to extend the ear to catch something being said about oneself. The world will talk if you are at fault, so why should there be any objection? If anyone speaks negative about you, let him, it is of benefit to You. You need to remain strong. Even a small mistake in this matter can create terrible problems. The deceit in you, leads the mind to listen secretly to the conversation of others.
If you happen to listen to what others are saying about you, it will disrupt your sanity. The talker said it casually without much thought, but look how it ruined your mind and sleep.
Some people say that they have employ deceit and deception out of fear. But, fear of what? The one with the fault will have fear, no?
The one who has the intense burning desire and craving for liberation will not be touched by any hinderances in the path of liberation.
'I know is the biggest hinderance the path of liberation! It causes death of the self. 'I know' brings on an intoxication that is very difficult to remove! The one without the intoxication of 'I know, his face is attractive. The arising of 'I know' agter Gnan, is tremendous lack of awareness.
If one attempts to solve the problems created by 'I know through his own efforts, it will only complicate matters further.
If sweetness prevails in 'I know?, it will sprout. There, one should erase it quickly, as soon as it sprouts, pluck it out. Otherwise, this ailment will grow and it will ruin the awareness.
All the danger signals in the path to liberation should be known from the Gnani Purush. Then only, the safe-side will be maintained. Otherwise, there is no telling where the ship will end up.
