Strategy to win in all situations!

For over a week now Swamiji has been speaking about the Advaithic space and i have fallen in love with this topic! Such an amazing truth explained so simply. Every time he reveals a truth I am amazed! I have lived as his disciple for the past 9 years in the ashram but there are so many things i am still learning every day, so many things yet to be revealed by him.. i am just a baby in this path! They say, the master reveals a truth only to the disciple who is ready to listen.. or is it that the master always keeps repeating the same truth, but when the disciple is ready the truth finally reveals itself to him!?

One of the ultimate truths he has been repeating is ‘Everyone is an extention of you!’ .. the first thought that would come to my mind then was “Well if thats the case, how come i dont much care for the attitude of X and how is it that these two people dont get along’ ?

The truth finally ‘clicked’ for me during one of the satsangs a few days ago. He said – Everyone is an extension of you. Whether you call the person as a Hitler or Bin Laden, Buddha or Mahadeva, Krishna or Kali, everyone is extension of you! Look in and see! Everyone of us has a part within us which we hate and a part within us which we love. These people who we are talking about are magnified forms of the parts which you love/hate!

Look into you. Complete with the part of you which is responsible for your anger, your violence. You will see that guy, the “the You are your own best friend, also you are your worst enemy!world” (outer world) terrorist loses all his power; he will become powerless! You entertaining anger towards him which is in the “my world” (inner world), keeps his violence active and alive. The moment you complete with this, your enemy will no more be a lion; he will become a rat! Make the enemy powerless by making your enmity powerless!

They will become powerless, their violent actions will become powerless; they will become stupid when they try to attack you; and they will just lose all their power. I tell you, Completion with your violence, Completion with your anger, Completion with your enmity will make your enemy powerless. It is the law of life!

The space of Advaitha is where: Everything is extension of me, whatever I want is already part of me. And that is Kalpataru!

What a mind boggling satsang! I simply loved it! Many of us do not understand why we are being asked to drop the anger towards someone who has wronged us, even get angry with the people who even suggest such a thing! .. It takes a little bit of looking in, to realize that its for our own benefit, no one elses!
