Do You Want People to Change?

Do You Want People to Change?

Why do you want to change their nature? You change. When you change they may also change, or they may not change! We need to learn to see life from a broader perspective. Then things make much more sense to us.

Why do we try to change people? It is because they are hurting us. And the more we want to change someone because they are hurting us, they are not going to change, I tell you.

If you really want them to change, you have to wish for their welfare, because what they are doing is not good for them. And if that is your intention, with that wish they will change. I tell you they will change. Your every prayer will make them see things differently and behave differently. So that’s the power of your intention.

=====================

All relationships are for a few days, few months, few years, but life is much bigger, so instead of trying to detach yourself from relationships, what is best for you to do is expand your awareness

=====================

The dawn and dusk are the best time to relieve ourselves from the mundane and to get a foothold in ethereal, in the subtle, and in the most beautiful realm of the creation.

Q: Could you talk about the Vedas and the aspects that they give this creation?

Guruji: You know, the story about the Vedas is very interesting, it's a mythological story. Once a Rishi did a lot of penance, and so the Lord of creation appeared before him and he asked him, 'My dear, what do you want?' The Rishi said, 'Give me knowledge'. So Brahma showed him a huge mountain and said, 'This is knowledge, take as much as you can'.

So this sage went and he grabbed as much as he could, but he could grab only four handfuls of that mountain, and they say, that became the Vedas. So Vedas are infinite. It is said Ananthavai Veda (infinite is the knowledge). So Rishi Veda Vyasa took a few handfuls of knowledge and organized it as four different aspects:

Rig Veda: Pure knowledge

Yajur Veda: The applied science, all action oriented. It is all about karma (ritualistic aspect)

Sama Veda: All about love, devotion, music and singing

Atharva Veda: Material sciences like Ayurveda, and about the knowledge of the stars, moon, planets and galaxies. All of this is present there.

So one is pure spiritual knowledge, another is action-oriented knowledge, another is music, and the fourth is material science.
