viewpoint and become obstinate, then 'we' will let go. 'We' would recognize that you do not see what 'we' are saying: so how long can 'we' sit there and explain things to you? One should not remain sitting forever, should he? Should we not just move along? The other person cannot see beyond his viewpoint, can he?
If a man is standing with a white horse about 300 feet from here, and you ask someone, 'what is that standing over there?' He might say, 'It is a cow does that mean we should hit him? Why would you want to hit him? He is calling the horse a cow, so should we hit him because of that? No! He cannot see at distance, so where is he at fault? At least it is good that he is not calling it a donkey! You will have to accept that. He says what he sees. That is how this world is. Each person says what he sees.
Do you understand what I am saying from this example of a donkey? Would people not say things as they see them? You should understand that is what the poor man sees and that is why he says what he does. You should tell him, you are right.' According to what you see, you are right. You should not tell him 'I am right according to my viewpoint' either. Otherwise, he will say 'wait tell me what is your viewpoint. On the contrary, he will make you sit. Instead, tell him he is correct in what he sees and move on.
'We may look naive but 'we' are very shrewd. 'We' may appear like a child but we are very shrewd. 'We will not sit around with anyone. 'We will move on. 'We will not hinder 'our progress
The Gnani Purush has only talks that are of benefit to all. Even if you understand only two of His words, it is enough. If you understand just two of His words and if you take them to heart and digest only one of the two words, that word will not leave you until you attain liberation. That is how much energy
and power there is behind the Gnani's words (vachanbud). That is how effective these words are - vachan siddhi.
Find the ways to lose in life That is exactly why 'we say to you, all of you are right.' There is no competition (spardha) in our Akram Vignan. It is unparallel (ajod) and second to none. You can call it heavy if you want or you can call it light if you want to, but it is incomparable (ajod). No one is in competition with it.
'We are not in competition with anyone. If someone were to ask us, "Sir, what is this group (religious) all about? What is their teaching like?', 'we' will immediately tell him that 'we' do not have any attachment (raag) or abhorrence (dwesh) towards them. 'We will tell them as it is. 'We have no competition (spardha) within. 'We are not concerned with it. And 'we' do no want to win in this competition. What will 'we' do by winning? 'We' are only interested in the goal of salvation.
Some people even come to me and talk negatively, I say to them, 'I had no knowledge about that all; I only came to know about this through you and you know everything. 'I will say this to him and send him back because he will not be able to sleep otherwise, and I will incur a fault if I do not let him win. 'You win, so go home now and sleep peacefully. 'I tell that to many people. He wants to win so let him win. He will not sleep if he is defeated and I will sleep even if I am defeated. The more I lose, the better I sleep.
Find ways to lose. Learn to lose. This is our' new discovery. The winner will lose one day, but a loser will never lose. The one who sets out to win has failed from the start. These are not battles. Whether one sets out to win in the scriptures or anything else, he has failed the moment he sets out to win.
