So a kind of a shy, bashful understanding should be there about oneself. This bashfulness is a beauty of human beings. Those who do not have this bashfulness, who are just … even the animals are bashful. Any animal you take is bashful, even the lion is a bashful animal. If you don’t have that bashfulness in you, then I don’t know what you look like. There’s nothing to compare in this world. I can’t think of anything which is without bashfulness. So there should be certain amount of bashfulness which gives you a beautiful continence and a beautiful temperament.
So at Sahastrara it’s just the surrendering, which we call “Islam”, means surrender. Surrender what? Surrender your ego and surrender your bad conditioning is the point which one has to reach, and once it happens you are off loaded. Off loaded, you are free and the ascent starts, the ascent is very much faster then. You give up “My sister, my brother, my son, my this, my that” – the whole thing goes off, and you become absolutely free and you start understanding.
So this is how we have to look after our dharmas and we have to achieve the punyas and these are the punyas. ………
May God bless you.
