Respect needs distance and in love distance can’t be tolerated but in the presence of an enlightened master both evolve .The term Dhruthi can’t have an equivalent in any language. Dhruthi gives goal to life. Its a fire for every work you need to do and for every thing you want to know you must have dhruthi.To forgive, being compassionate and being natural, to control your senses (i.e. not to speak whatever you want and not to do whatever your heart desires) ,to maintain integrity these all are the characteristics of DHARMA. The more amount of these features dwell in you, you will be happier. You can’t be happy if you are angry.All the three i.e. dharma , artha and kaama cause bondage. Liberation is caused only for those who are bond by these and have the desire to be freed. This desire comes either by going through slaps of sadness or by viveka .Sadness or Viveka only can guide you towards liberation.
Ashtavakra gita is an air flight towards liberation. When we have enjoyed so much then we want to know the end of it and then we crave for liberation. All experience need not be got by an individual in this birth. We have been experiencing all these through many lifetimes. So we need to learn some of the experiences by seeing others life as well. Now at least halt in this life time. Make an attempt to realize that we need to stop for that quench of senses. When you get the thirst for liberation you are lucky. The more responsibility and money you get , the more you get entangled.Guruji gives example of a merchant who asks his accountant that how many generations can be satisfied for that the accountant replies “it will be there four generations” and then the merchant says “ I have to still earn for fifth generation. There is still a lot to do”. Our ignorance is the cause for bondage. Heart desires for extremes but it is very difficult to tread the middle path. We are in very deep slumber. We are stuck up only in relationships, respect and disrespect, honour and disgrace and all these are from ignorance which is the cause of bondage. We are caught up in these and we don’t even realize this that we are caught up in these. We don’t understand sorrow as sorrow. First understand that its sorrow and then understand its the cause of bondage.
Knowledge can’t be given where love is not there as Krishna says to Arjuna first “I love you” and then gives the Gita which means a song and song can turn relationships more strong. Even an enemy becomes weak if you start singing that’s why its called as the Ashtavakra Geeta and song can happen only in intimate presence/.If you have liking for liberation consider the objects of senses as poison and leave them.Guruji gives explanation of bulimia (a severe disease where you vomit after you eat and then thrust yourself with more edibles and there is no medicine for it).What it means is that the mind never gets satisfied with the desires. There is no balance between the capabilities of the senses to enjoy and the heart to desire for the enjoyment. There is no balance between the needs of the body and mind. We never care for our body that’s why we are sad. When the senses run, we become outward and that’s why we face sorrow. Only a person who is “antharmukhi “can be happy and this can happen only when you consider that the entire objects of senses are poisonous in nature. Every sorrow helps us to become inward.We need to realize what’s is truth and what is false. We need to walk the path of truth. Truth is nectar (satyam piyusham).That doesn’t mean we hurt someone as well. We need to realize which is truth and which is false .Truth is one which transcends time. It’s not in the realm of past, present and future. It has been permanently there. So if we say this that means everything that is changing is false in that way even our very body is false so we need to understand what is truth, which we will see tomorrow.
