Don’t be in a hurry to judge

Don’t be in a hurry to judge- Anant Sri

All classifications of good and bad are creations of the mind. There is nothing good or bad in absolute terms. And with the present state of your mind, how can you know what the right thing is, and what is not right. Whatever is in your alignment, your mind interprets it as good and whatever goes against it, it classifies it as bad. All these are relative interpretations, they may hold good for you but not for everyone. It is not universal. At the most you can say that it holds good or bad for you.

Each one is a centre from where vibrations arise and spread all around and reach far off in the entire universe. Everybody affects everything and everything in the world affects everybody. If you see things with your colored mind, you will only see the thing as per your coloring, you shall never be able to see the actual thing and so any judgment in that state is sure to go wrong.

You jump to interpretations. You do not give sufficient time for anything to settle down and bring its results. The moment anything happens, and you are out with your labels to classify it. If you give it sufficient time to settle down, allow the energy to work, you might be able to see and opine better and nearer to the truth. Never be in a hurry to come to any judgment. In fact, don’t be judgmental at all.

The fundamentals of classification of right and wrong can be that any act that harms you or anyone else, makes you depressed, hinders your evolution, takes you away from your consciousness or if it  does the same for others, it cannot be healthy. Similarly, what triggers your growth, makes you happy and light, takes you into transformation, and establishes you or does the same for others too, leading them to their consciousness, is healthy. But in between, variations of such a classification, can only be relative, and not universal. They cannot be applied to all.

One meditation technique works for you, but it is not necessary that it may work for others. Various techniques are given by Masters, so that one can experiment and discover the one most suited to him. But if there were to prescribe all with one technique the results would never come. In fact, all the disputes seen around in the world are the result of this conditioned thinking. You feel good about something, and you want others to feel the same. You are disappointed when they don’t. But every individual is unique, and the same things are not applicable to all. You are comfortable with something, the other is not, but that does not make him wrong in any way. It is just that it is different and there is no dearth of varieties here. So don’t judge, let things be the way they are. There is nothing right and wrong, everything has a place here. You live in your comfort zone but do not force it on others.

Moreover, what may appear as good may not be actually good for you. People talk about a lot of dukh-dard in the world which I disagree with. True there is a lot of dard, pain in the world but not dukh, the suffering is your creation. One pain, and you blow it out of proportion and create great suffering for yourself and for others too. You can choose to let it be its actual size or you can detach yourself and make it negligible. Therefore, what you feel and what is there are two different stories. And there is a solution, a treatment for pain but whatever is your creation, your doing, cannot be treated with any solution. You must deal with it on your own. And to help you in dealing with these issues Sadgurus appear.

Sadgurus make you see your creation and seeing them in all clarity, begins to free you and stop you from such doings. People approach a Sadguru but there too they begin their judgments and interpretations and when they cannot handle such issues, then many a times they run away and keep finding new permutation-combinations but as long as they will go with their minds and judgments, they will be no closer to any solution. A Sadguru does not strengthen your mind; he is not there to boost your ego. He is there to shake you and help you free yourself from the shackles of your conditionings.

A Sadguru is not there to give sermons and load you with knowledge. He lives his teachings so that you know that it can be lived that way. Like for dukh-dard we were discussing earlier, he lives a life showing that your happiness and bliss are your nature, and you can be happy in your nature. You need nothing from outside to make you happy. He lives in the same world as you; he comes across the same challenges as you or many a times even greater, yet he lives in peace and bliss in the comfort of his being. You can be assured that if it is possible for one then why not for others and moreover, he is there in all his compassion and love standing with you.  In fact, just being with Sadguru and you begin to awake. His presence is magnetic and that is sufficient, nothing else is required.
