The attraction that the vast Brahman has for the añu (atom) is the attraction of the whole for the part. It is the basis of all love—the love of the mother, of the father and son, of the friend, the spouse and even of the devotee towards God. The jīva (the individual self) loves the Brahman or the totality of which it is part. See all as parts of the same whole to which you belong. Then there can be no hatred or envy or greed or pride.
(Baba)
In a study circle we tell what comes in our mind about a certain thought, of course, it is a Baba thought.
We can share and exchange, but it is the non-argumentative exchange of view, thus we tell what we think, but we do not expect to be corrected or commented, the other is also telling what he thinks about it and we share without that we know better or that we criticise and that is how our inner awareness is growing.
We call it listen, think it over and absorb and in writing it down it is an ideal tool to think about it, because it is hardly possible to write it down without thinking it over and what we will notice by writing it down is that we get on a deeper level and begin to see it in our own life.
Tapas, spiritual work is first discrimination, second seeing it in our own life and third we go on no matter what obstacles are there. Of course, we can write down what comes to our mind first in a separate file and put here the comment only when we are able to put it together and it does make sense, because we really don't know what is coming up by writing it down, we have to practice to get to that experience.
That question to whom I belong has become a big issue in my life. Because Baba asked someone else and I was just translating and that felt real strange to me that I had to talk about myself and he asked to whom I belonged. I began to ask if others knew of such interviews and I didn't get an answer, but I got a different answer, there was someone, a guy who said that I belonged to him and I went in that direction to know what he knew.
That has been a difficult story and and after all he knew nothing at all, he just took advantage of it and it was probably stupid to talk about it.
Nevertheless, it happened and that is how Baba gives us the answer when listening to his words.
See all as parts of the same whole to which you belong.
That is how the inner awareness grows and we never know when we get the right answer, but that we get it in writing about it and listening to his words, that is sure.
