But the following Blog link has done several corrections in the above Transcript provided in the video & hence the following link is easier to read in text flow 1 0:00 don't keep “dur bhavana”, dur bhavna is ill will ill feeling towards someone, don't keep it , why, because your thoughts will pollute you, they will impact your consciousness, if you wish to progress in sadhana, then don't create ill will even in your dreams, even by mistake https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=0 2 0:47 don't see the faults of others, see your own faults https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=47 3 0:57 two brothers came along with their father to listen to swamiji's program and they were inspired - yes we wish to do a life transformation and we wish to manage our mind etc. so when they went back home, the father inspired them that tomorrow you both wake up at 4 00 am and meditate, they said yes father,  if we have got the inspiration of our life tomorrow onwards, we'll never be the same https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=57 4 1:36 the next morning, the elder son woke up at 4am, and the younger one he kept on sleeping, it was so blissful so the elder one said to father ,what a rascal he is that I am awake here meditating and he is just sleeping in his bed https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=96 5 2:02 the father said my child if you had to find faults with your brother, you shouldn't have woken up at 4am you were better sleeping, what is the point in waking up if at the end of it you are just finding faults with others likewise what is the point in coming to satsang if we are doing fault-finding, it is purposeless https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=122 6 2:32 so looking at the faults of others we accumulate their sins https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=152 7 2:41 one king wanted to give in charity to the brahmanas, he arranged brahma-bhoja and he had got the cooks to cook a lavish meal but accidents happen, one eagle was carrying a dead snake and it dropped the snake in a cauldron, the snake got cooked along with the brahman's food and made it poisonous https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=161 8 3:15 now when the brahman started eating, some of them fell sick, the analysis was done and it was discovered that there was poison in the food, Chitra Gupta, the devata who has the task of noting people's karmas, he started wondering the sin of hurting these brahmans, on whose account should I put it?  https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=195 9 3:44 I cannot put it in the account of the snake as it was dead, I cannot put it on the account of the eagle it is agyani or a devoid of knowledge, it had no such intention, I cannot put it on the account of the king either because the king did not do it deliberately, it was an accident https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=224 10 4:07 in the meantime some more brahmans were coming and the news had spread, so there was one lady standing outside and the brahmanas asked the lady, we have heard the king is giving a brahma bhoj and along with the meal he is offering gifts to the brahmanas, the lady said don't, that king is giving poison to kill the brahmanas https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=247 11 4:36 Chitra Gupta said that decision is made, all the sin is put on the account of this lady https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=276 12 4:45 so it is said if you point out somebody's mistakes and he has not made any you get the entire sin and if you point out anybody's mistakes and they have made it you still get half the sin, it's very dangerous https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=285 13 5:08 So ensure that I will not do fault finding https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=308 14 5:13 a sage used to live up in the Himalayas in a hut by the lakeside, these mountain lakes are known for their clarity purity tranquility serenity and the swans used to come and congregate there https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=313 15 5:40 one hunter came looking for swans he was astonished to see the swans come and sit all by the side as the sadhu sits on the side of the lake to meditate, they are oblivious of him, they have no fear of him they walk all around, in fact they were kind of drawn by the vibrations that he was emanating during his meditation https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=340 16 6:13 that hunter was on an assignment he wanted to capture some swans and go and sell them at the zoo so he told the sadhu that i have been trying and they are so elusive now they come and sit all by you can you please help me tomorrow, you keep this net under your dhoti and when the swans come close as they do,  you throw the net on them, first the sadhu refused but the hunter convinced him that it's for a better cause a bigger cause, you know human beings will look at the swans in the Delhi zoo and be thrilled  so the sadhu got convinced he said all right next day he went to meditate with the net under him and sat down he kept his eyes closed thinking as usual the swans will all come around him and once when he opens his eyes he'll catch them unprepared but when he opened his eyes he found that there was no swan anywhere around somehow the swans had sensed these animals they have got a greater sixth sense in this regard because they can't understand human communication so their intuitive grasp is not dulled by speech and that is why they grasped just by feeling they had realized that the Sadhu’s  feelings had changed he had now got the thought in his mind i am going to catch these swans https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=373 17 8:18 it is by our thoughts that we purify ourselves it is by our thoughts that we pollute ourselves so when we keep resentful thoughts towards others we think this person is very bad he did this to me but the thought resides in us and the loss that is suffered is by us not by the other https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=498 18 8:49 one husband and wife the husband's name was champaklal and his wife was popta ben and so champaklal and popta ben they went to the mandir and after they came back from the mandir popta ben told champaklal she said my dear husband did you see there was dirt accumulated on the first stair of the temple the husband said i did not see my dear husband did you see that the paint under the window was slightly torn husband said i did not see my dear husband did you see that in the temple there was a little trash by the corner husband said i did not see, popta ben was so popped up and said then what is the use why do you go to the temple at all if you don't see all this she was so popped up and was going there to see the faults  https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=529 19 10:06 so maharaj ji says don't be a fault finder be a good finder there are faults everywhere nothing is free of defects https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=606 20 10:23 you can find fault even with Lord Krishna, why doesn't He stand straight, why does He stand crooked ? https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=623 21 10:34 it is so easy to find fault with others and so difficult to find fault with ourselves it is so easy to judge others and so difficult to learn from them so we follow the easy path but the problem with this is first of all it increases our pride because we then assume the other person is wrong and i am right and the fact is we are all wrong because we are in maya so as long as if we are in maya we have got so many defects and when we are looking at the defects of others we are not turning our gaze to our own defects which are there and they will only keep on increasing https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=634 22 11:30 So, look don't make this mistake you who point fingers at others look these three fingers are pointing towards you so take the cue https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=690 23 11:54 Maharaj ji says show your mind your own defects that is the pathway to improvement we should take inspiration from the saints they knew the art of how to think in an adverse situation to ensure that the mind doesn't get polluted  https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=714 24 12:26 there is the story of a devotee from south India called Venkatnath he used to engage in his bhajan and the neighbors would make fun of him so atheism has always existed in this world of maya even in historical times and it was there in the time of Venkatnath that the youth are more susceptible to atheistic theories so some of the youth thought of a practical joke they made a garland of shoes and slippers and hung it by the gate entrance of this guy's cottage that when he comes he will come in his मस्ती  unaware just taking the God’s names and he will hit this garland it will fall on him we will all have a hearty laugh so Venkatnath came as usual his mind in   the other world   and without realizing there was a   reception committee   he went and hit this garland and it fell   upon him the garland of shoes   now he could also have created a monster   in his mind oh my god   this is what they did, they don't do to   anybody else they only do to me what is   it   the youth when the garland fell they   started laughing   Venkatnat said very good very good   He was not disturbed   he said    some people they take the shelter of the   path of karma   for elevation   some take the shelter of the path of   gyan   for their elevation   but me   i will take the shelter   of the pad Raksha, the shoes of Haridas   these devotees of the lord   now he's seen them all as devotees and   he is saying i am taking the shelter of their pad raksaks, their shoes   that is the cleverness   how to think so that ill will  does not get generated within  https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=746 25 15:10  so this knowledge that we should not      harbor ill will      is common to saintly personalities      around the world   https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=910 26 15:20 the sufi saint by the name of sant usman   he was walking in the streets of arabia   when somebody   from the second floor   threw   ashes upon him   you know the burnt ashes   threw a trayful upon him   now again   he refused to create a monster   300 people went before me,  you did not do it to   them why did you do it to me   he just looked up into the sky   and said ya khuda   oh lord You are so compassionate   i was worthy of this that You should   have thrown burning ember upon me   and all You did was to throw ashes ,  the person who threw it  must have melted completely   that look even after throwing these   ashes i could not disturb the peace of   the saint   that is the quality to strive for   that is the sign of progress in sadhana https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=920 27 16:37 don't   create ill will   and the fact is, the way we are   that is how we see   the world https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=997 28 16:48 there was a room with a thousand mirrors   one little girl went there   and she said i see so many people in   this room   her father said tell them i love you   she said i love you   and they all responded with such a   loving expression   she was followed by a boy later on   and he saw so many people   he said how dare they all charge me   together so he lifted his hand i'll   smash you and they all lifted their hand https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1008 29 17:27 so that is exactly how   this world is   it is not good it is not bad the way we   are that is how we see   this world https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1047 30 17:43 there was once   an   old man   he used to sit outside the village   and when travellers used to come from   there   passing by   they would ask the old man how are the people who live in this village, he would tell them how the people are   from where you have come  , if they would say they are very bad   he would say the people here are also very bad,you can carry on, and if they would say they are so nice, he would say you will find these people, also so nice https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1063 31 18:25 so the fact is that this is the world created by God   we see it according to the nature of our   heart   the moment we say that somebody is bad   this thought   is bad the defect is in that thought   within us   so maharaj ji says beware   if you wish to progress   in sadhana   then don't create ill will even in your dreams even by mistake https://youtu.be/GmnIGdoxGBs&t=1105 Standby link (in case youtube link does not work): 19
