Compassion
"Upanishad", sitting at the feet of the master."
"The Master's presence is like that of the sun, the rays of which simply penetrate the surroundings. If a cube of ice is put in the sun, it melts in no time. Just like that, our samskaras simply dissolve in the intense energy field of the Master.
The sun does not think about who is coming near it and then decide whether to shine or not. It shines no matter what. Master's compassion does not have logic. There is no calculation involved or an ulterior motive when the Master radiates his love and compassion.
It is whether we want to allow ourselves to melt or we choose to hold back. It does not matter what He talks, every word is like an arrow hitting our inner space and killing the demons of ego and conditionings. ...
Master wants our transformation, our growth, our joy. Why should he be so bothered about our growth? For no logical reason. This is called compassion."

You walk until you come to the ocean. You don’t walk or run in the ocean – you float and swim. Like this, once you come to the Master, seeking stops, blossoming begins. You seek until you come to the Master.
Seeking is a desire. Desire is a thought. Thoughts are in the mind. The mind is in the Big Mind. The Big Mind in me is love. Emotions are ripples in love. Love is all Knowledge. Every atom of the Big Mind is crammed with Knowledge.
Knowing this, you stop seeking.
You are Knowledge. Every atom in you is shimmering with Knowledge.
In Sanskrit, this is called go. 'Go' has four meanings: * Knowledge * Movement * Achievement * Freedom or liberation
'Pal' means friend or protector – one who takes care of you. Be a Gopal (go-pal); be a friend in Knowledge. Often you become friends by: * Gossiping about negative things * Complaining * Similar cravings or aversions * Common enemies or common problems * Common goals or common addictions You become friends with someone because you have something in common.
But coming together in Knowledge is rare. Be a friend in Knowledge. Uplift each other in Knowledge.
All satsangees are Gopals – reminding each other of the Knowledge, coming together for Knowledge. That is Gopal.
Be a protector of this Knowledge.
