Weekly Knowledge #52 Bad Antogast 05 Jun 1996 Germany WHAT YOU KNOW  What shall we talk about today?  What is the point in talking about something of which you know nothing. And so . . . there is no point in talking about what you know and no point in talking about what you don't know!  (Laughter)  Stefano says, "What about something you think you know but don't know?"  Guruji says, "We can talk about something you think you know but you don't know or something you think you don't know but you know." (Laughter)  There is no end to learning but there is an end to unlearning. That is when you become totally hollow and empty. 🌸Jai Guru Dev🌸

Weekly Knowledge #53 St. Louis, Missouri 13 Jun 1996 USA SEVA IS SAVIOR  The way to expand from individual to universal consciousness is to share others's sorrow and joy. As you grow, your consciousness should also grow. When you expand in Knowledge with time, then depression is not possible. Your inner most source is joy.  The way to overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Instead of thinking "what about me?" "what can I gain from this world?" think "what can I do for the world?" When everyone comes from the point of contributing to society, you have a Divine society. We have to educate and culture our individual consciousness in order to expand in time with the Knowledge . . . from "what about me?" to "what can I contribute?"  If you are not having good experiences in meditation, then do more seva -- you will gain merit and your meditation will be ...

Weekly Knowledge #54 Somewhere in Beautiful British Columbia 19 Jun 1996 Canada WHEN WE ARE JOYFUL  When we are joyful, we don't look for perfection. If you are looking for perfection then you are not at the source of joy. Joy is the realization that there is no vacation from wisdom. The world appears imperfect on the surface but underneath, all is perfect. Perfection hides; imperfection shows off.  The wise will not stay on the surface but will probe into the depth. Things are not blurred; your vision is blurred. Infinite actions prevail in the wholeness of consciousness. And yet the consciousness remains perfect, untouched. As Satsangees, realize this now and be at Home. 🌸Jai Guru Dev🌸

Weekly Knowledge #55 Canadian Ashram 26 Jun 1996 Canada JUDGEMENTS AND GOOD COMPANY Though you have heard "don't judge," judgement comes unavoidably in day-to-day life. By the actions and behaviors of people, you either approve or disapprove. But always remember that everything is changing, and do not hold onto the judgement. Otherwise your judgement gets solidified like a rock. It brings misery for you and for others. If judgements are lighter like air, like a breeze, they bring in fragrance, then move away. They could bring a foul smell, then move away. They should not stay there forever. Judgements are so subtle that you are not even aware of their existence. Judging or labeling someone as judgmental is also a judgement. Only in the state of Being when you are full of love and compassion can you ever be free from all judgements. Yet the world cannot move without judgements. Until you judge something as good or bad, you cannot do any actions. If you see rot...
