What is politics?

What is politics?
Different people have different mindsets, and they air their opinions. For a while these opinions remain and then it all changes. Some people praise you and the same people will make nasty remarks about you, all this is very common. You should take this for granted or you will become uptight. When you are uptight you are not aware of how you behave.
======================
Every human being, every bird, and most of the animals sing because singing is part of the expression of life. Spending a few minutes with music every day is essential. That will stimulate the right brain activity.
======================
Q: My understanding, based on what I have learnt is that, everything is Brahman and there is nothing outside Brahman. How does it happen that being part of such an intelligent and omnipresent Brahman, we are living in ignorance? How does this ignorance arise?
Guruji: Ignorance is also the part of Brahman. Brahman is the totality; the sum of all that is.
======================
Q: Today you are at the pinnacle of spirituality. What message would you like to convey to our spiritual seekers who are not here with you today?
Guruji: I would say, try and gain knowledge about something and at the same time have faith as well. See, you cannot possibly know everything. And you also need to have deep faith in something. Embrace everyone you meet with love. That is my message.
See, if someone gives you something and says, “It is very sweet”, then you should first taste it yourself instead of simply believing them. If someone tells you, “It is poison, do not touch it”, then you should not say, “No, first I will taste it and then believe you” .
Three things are needed for life:
Purity of heart
Clarity of mind and
Sincerity in action or spontaneity in action.
Do not get stuck in just thinking, “What will happen to me?” See, there are problems in everyone’s life, but remember that they do not stay forever. They come and go. Do not let them overwhelm you. And spirituality will give you that much needed strength and stability to withstand and overcome all problems with a smile. Spirituality can give a new direction to your thoughts and to your life.
======================
When you resist politics then you get deeply into politics. Your perception becomes political and you will get paranoid about it. All those who are paranoid about politics get deep into it. You should not mind it and then it will never bother you.
Om Namah Shivay
