Knowledge within and compassion without

Aug 12 Ev

Sadhguru
For a person who knows his limitations, even if something comes up in life, he's not really affected. It doesn't really touch him.

Yeap. I was bit disturbed by the email saying I degrade on the Tamil people. I was just making a statement. Alas, I guess I shld be more sensitive. Nevermind. Guess jus my child seeing this as rejection. Anyway, perhaps that's why I forward the mail to teacher. On hindsight, perhaps I shouldn't have.
As for d email on informing people on whereabout. No reply from them. Anyway, also nevermind. Just my child seeing this as rejection.
Its ok lah.

Yeap, I love myself. Even if the whole world rejected me, God and I love me. My family love me too.

(Aug 31 - The teacher did reply my mail, she agreed with me that I was just making a statement of fact and that the other gal's pride was hurt, thats all. Surprisingly, I was able to get over it the following day and called the gal on some other matter.)

Osho - Nanak
Make knowledge ur pleasure and compassion ur storehouse. Knowledge and compassions are the 2 wings to be mastered in order to fly into the heavens of his abode. Knowledge and wisdom for within, sympathy and compassion for without.
If there is only knowledge within, but no sympathy and tenderness without, there is danger of ur not attaining perfection. If there is sympathy and tenderness without but no knowledge within, then too u r incomplete.
Knowledge ultimately refers to oneself; sympathy means to know others.
Unlimited compassion arises when wisdom is born. You will give freely, do all in ur power to help others to reach him, for all are wandering and groping.

To attain knowledge, u need courage and boldness.
Let ur feet travel towards liberation, but take others along with u.
Remember that as u cultivate both compassion outside and knowledge within, ur momentum increases towards the goal.

(Aug 31 - Finally got it, then I need to bring along others too, to complete my journey. No wonder, Sadhguru is compelled to carry us along)
