Baku is a very well planned, modern & beautiful city. The culture and people are open minded. Although the Art of Living has been in Azerbaijan for the past 20 years, this was my first visit to the country. We had a wonderful programme at the 6th International Humanitarian Forum.
Life presents a million opportunities to be grateful & a billion opportunities to grumble. It’s ones good fortune to have a Guru to take one beyond the guilt & pride of the past & the fear & feverishness of the future, to the inner sanctum of unconditional love. #GuruPurnima
Anger, hatred, justification, feelings of condemnation, shame and guilt do not allow you to be a normal human being with sensible communication. (3 of 3)
When you realise you’ve made a mistake you either justify it or feel guilty. While a little guilt can create a barrier in you to not repeat the mistake, justification allows you to continue. The skill is to learn from mistakes and rise above both justification and shame. (2 of 3)
It’s common to get angry and upset at someone else’s mistakes. On the other hand, it needs a big heart to feel compassion and accommodate their wrong doings and to give them a chance to change. (1 of 3)
When you realise your perception is erroneous, you lose the zeal to fight. When your perception is corrected you get back the zeal and enthusiasm to fight. This is what happened to Arjuna in Mahabharat/Gita.
Arjuna's perception of war was erroneous, this made him lose his willingness to fight. Krishna had to correct his perception, then he got the valour to fight.
Suggested to establish a Chair of Gandhian Principles in universities across the world and have a mass movement to honour his teachings of non violence and eradication of untouchability.
A fight is rooted in righteousness and every side involved feels they are righteous. Without it they don’t have the strength to fight. Your sense of righteousness depends on your perception and your perception can be erroneous.
