DIFFERENT ANGLE


12-2-18                                                             


What I understood

To impart pure and complete knowledge teacher (knowledge provider) and student (knowledge seeker) should have twin relation. First is Friendship. Friendship should be initiated on the initiative of the knowledge provider. Second is Devotion-ship. Devotion should flow from the student -the seeker. If vice versa, knowledge transfer will fail or will be incomplete.






What I understood


Advisor remembers what he taught however learner forgets many times. If he remembers the taught lessons he also becomes advisor to another one. Those who forget remain just Arjuna (here confused). Only the God has infinite non- perishable memory.

 What I understood

YOGI- An acquirer of benefiting habits and adding them in him very precisely. 

 SANYAS-  Means Renunciation. 

      Conclusion: Renunciation does not mean ‘no more difficulty’; ‘may be no or least responsibility’. Difficulty cannot be RENUNCIATED as was my misconception. Even if I live in remote area, in compete isolation, difficulty will find me and test me, now and then, till I live.

FIGHT

6          come out wiser


Sometimes we feel like fighting with someone who is very close to us. It is not that we hate them. They just do not appear judicious. We feel hurt. How can they do so? The question keeps on nagging us. We should then fight. There is no need to repress it. We should fight it out. There is no need to just worry or keep anxiety for long.  Fighting is still KARMA. Worry or anxiety is not KARMA. They(worry, anxiety) are killers. They kill the very person who holds them.

If we feel that the fight is the last option then we should go into it. But here too we should fight whole-heartedly and headlong so that whatsoever happens should help us.

If it was wrong to fight, then we will come out of it wiser. If it was right to fight, then we will come out of it still wiser. So in the end the incidence is going to make us wiser.

We have to keep our mind open. The fight will give us chance to learn something. We will not automatically become wiser after the fight. We have to analyze and differentiate the outcome of fight. If we do not learn anything from the fight then we should re-analyze the fight. There is a lesson; hidden, waiting to improve us from within. 



To be continued.....
