What Makes the Difference? - 15th November 2016

Yes, I understand that love should give freedom, but experientially it is seen that if it doesn't happen in a certain way, then it triggers something here also. And that also can be a part of freedom. That which is appearing here, for example, some pain which appears or comes here, then why can't it also be accepted?

Yes, I feel you know this one. You know the answer for this one because you've heard it for a long time. We're not talking about the momentary pain which can arise, but we go into... Father, like for example, if you tell me something which would really hurt me, then I could be crying for days. It's not just... see how much you can cry if I tell you something strong. And we can try it now before you pick up a concept about it. You see, you will maybe... some it can happen. See, Guruji tell me something, some tears can come, something can happen, you see. But first I have to then believe a concept about it. 'Oh, how could he tell me this?' or 'Why does he always pick on me?' or 'Why doesn't he understand me and I'm this way?' We have to reinforce that pain with some fuel of concept to convert that into a prolonged suffering. You see, that is what is being spoken about here. So there can be love, there can be a reaction, response of hurt or grief which can come, but to make suffering out of it we need to reinforce it with some ideas, with some concepts.

See, now the basic point is very simple. None of you can actually suffer without believing a concept over and over. We are saying the same thing, but the concepts themselves... this is the Mahabharat of the concept, you see. The concept, the mind itself is fighting back with the best concept it can bring up. And all of you are fighting with different sets of concepts. If you were to look in this room right now—and I don't want to give any report cards—but all of you have a different set of favorite concepts. One has a concept about doership, one has a concept about freedom, one has a concept about emotion, one has a concept about something else, body, relationship. So it is just which concept seems to be playing out the strongest here. But right now they're gone. Right now they're gone. Now they're gone. Now, now, now, now. If you go really fast, you don't give any space for the movement of this energy called the mind. Yes.
