life without Conflict
Gnan. Where there is science, there is absolute knowledge. Only if you remain in the center, in your absolute state as the Self, there will be no conflicts and only then will you attain liberation. If you move away from the center, there will be differences of 'mine' and 'yours' and liberation cannot be attained. Only the impartial one will be liberated.
we already have some silverware at home, why do not you give her that? Do not give an order to the goldsmith for new silver plates.' So she responded, "When girls from your mother's family get married, you give special orders for big silver plates! In this event, she used the words *mine' and *yours'. I immediately understood, "Today I have lost my reputation. We are both one, so where did this 'mine' and *yours' come from?' I understood right away and immediately turned things around; I told her 'That's not what I am saying. What I meant was that you can give her the silverware and also give her five hundred rupees; they can use the money...' She immediately responded, "Huh! How can you give so much money? You are so naive in every situation. You give money to every Tom, Dick and Harry that comes along.' I told her, "Truly I really do not know anything.'
Just look at how I turned everything around to prevent a conflict between us! The bottom line is that I did not allow any differences of opinions to take place between us. For the last thirty to thirty-five years we have had no conflicts between us and before any conflicts can take place, I know how to turn things around. You only know a few ways how to avoid conflicts, whereas I have endless keys and solutions. I resolve all matters at hand without allowing any conflicts to occur. There are some twenty thousand people in our satsang, of which about four thousand are mahatmas, the ones who have taken Gnan, but I do not have any conflict or differences of opinions with any of them. I have never considered myself as being separate or different from anyone. I maintain oneness with everyone.
What are the signs of being enlightened? It is when everyone in the home does wrong and you turn it around and make it right. All you have to know is how to fix the fuse on a machine if it blows up. You must know how to adjust with people's prakruti. For me, even when the other person blows his fuse, my adjustment is always there. But what happens when the other person does not know how to adiust? He loses his fuse and gets into a conflict with everyone until someone fixes his fuse but until then his confusion remains.
In this worldly life wounds are inevitable. Even the women of the household will say, 'This hurt will not heal, enough is enough. But once she is drawn back into the worldly life, the wounds heal. Because of the attachment for the worldly life, the illusion continues. That which is not real, appears real. Therefore the wounds heal. The allure for worldly things and life continues. If the wounds did not heal, then renunciation of worldly life would grow. What is the definition of attachment (moha)? It is where a person tolerates many painful experiences but then forgets them all. For example, when a man goes through a divorce he resolves he will never get involved with another woman, and then he marries again.
What a Trap! How will this world maintain a balance if people won't
Where there is a difference of opinion, there is partial gnan and in the absence of conflicts, there is absolute science,
