EXPAND YOUR VICES

Weekly Knowledge #95 Rishikesh 03 Apr 1997 India

If you cannot get rid of vices, increase them. Worry, pride, anger, lust, grief - give them a bigger dimension and a different direction. Anger - what is the point of getting angry about small events? Be angry about the infinite, about Brahma. Ego, pride - If you cannot get rid of pride, take pride in owning THE DIVINE. Greed - Be greedy for SATSANG. Craving - Crave for truth. Aversion - Be averse to aversions. Jealousy - Be jealous about SEVA. Intoxication - Get intoxicated in the DIVINE. Attachment - Attach yourself to the guru. Joy is love for what is. Sorrow is love for what is not. Jai Guru Dev
