If u r simple u will be able to observe urself. A complex person cannot observe himself because he is so divided. He has so many things around him: so many desires, so many thoughts and so many problems arising out of those desires & thoughts. He s continuously in a crowd. It is difficult to attain to self study. Only an austere man eats, sleeps, loves and that is all. He has ample time and ample energy left to observe, just to be, just to sit & look. He sits, looks at himself, closes his eyes watches his own being.
There is not a crowd, nothing much to done. Things are so simple that he can do them easily. And simple things have a quality that even while doing them you can study yourself. Complex things are too much for the mind. It gets too involved & fragmentary and self study becomes impossible.

What is MIND ? Mind is not a thing, but an event. A thing has a substance in it, an event is just a process. A thing is like a rock, an event is like the wave; it exist, but is not substantial. It is just the event between the wind and the ocean; a process, a phenomenon.

So those who have known say that mind is like a bird flying into the sky - no footprints are left behind, not even a trace.

Seek the company of those who are higher than you - higher in wisdom, higher in happiness , higher in tranquility, calmness, quiet, collectedness: always seek the company of the higher because that is how you can become higher, how you can transcend the valleys and reach to the peaks. That become a ladder. Always seek the company of the higher, the beautiful, the happy. Then you will become more beautiful; you will become more happy.

Just start thinking a little, contemplate about what you have been doing, repeating a few unconsious desires, repeating something which never gives you any blissfulness, which always frustrates you. Still you go on as if you are hypnotized.

In fact that's what YOGA says : that we are in deep HYPNOSIS.

Nobody has hypnotized us, we are hypnotized by our own MIND.

Never ask for sympathy.....ask for understanding .
Nodody sympathizes with a happy man. In a society which is unhappy
and consists of miserable people, a happy person is a stranger.
They hurt our ego very much.
With a crucified Jesus you can sympathize : with a happy Jesus
you will feel antagonistic

IGNORANCE.....

An ignorant man is one who ignores.... that's how the world comes. In that way the knowledgeable person is the most ignorant person, because he knows about heaven & hell and he knows nothing about himself. He knows about GOD, but he knows nothing about himself.... who he is ?.....what this consciousness inside is ? He is ignorant because he is ignoring the most fundamental thing in life. He is keeping himself occupied with the non essential.
