Spiritual Quotes On support

The sense organs are prevailing within the objects of sensual pleasure. (Vishayo vishay ma varte chhe.) In fact, these people are needlessly expressing egoism. As long as egoism does not depart, people cannot refrain from expressing egoism, can they? When would that egoism leave? It is when its support leaves. What is its support? It is ignorance of the Self (agnan). When does ignorance of the Self depart? It is when the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is attained.

Do not do viradhana (go against something that someone reveres) even if it is deemed wrong. If you do not wish to revere it, then don’t. It is the viewpoint of the other person; it is not wrong. If you are unable to support it [that viewpoint], then don’t. Neither go against something that is deemed right, nor against something that is deemed wrong. Viradhana leads to nothing but misery.

If your monetary wealth accumulates naturally and spontaneously, then let it accumulate, but do not lean on it for support.

If one sides with pickpockets by saying, ‘what’s wrong with what he is doing? He doesn’t have any food so of course he’ll pick pockets!’ Now even when he is not a pickpocket himself, by supporting such actions, he will become a pick pocket in his next life. The poor man, although he makes the mistake in ignorance (in darkness, within), the price he will pay in brightness [that can be seen with 5 senses, the outer world].

Criticizing anyone is tantamount to criticizing their worship or devotion (aradhana). It is a grave mistake. It is fine if you cannot support someone, but do not criticize them at all. If there is any criticism, then there is no science of the Vitarag Lords [the enlightened ones]; there is no religion there at all, there is no oneness at all.
