Feels blessed to have shared wonderful conversation with Jayeshbhai and Maheshbhai today on few thoughts from Bhagwad Geeta bodhsar and kabir doha. It was beautifully explained that change in thought process of a single person can bring about the change in society. First, there is change in thought process because of awareness which brings about the change in person while the thought is executed through his actions. Sharing the experiences about the same with people can sow seeds of awareness and change which can change the society with its ripples. Thus, having thoughts that contain joy would lead to highest form of words that contain truth and grandest form of feeling we call love and a changed society. Also, there was another thought on how important it is to have equanimity by seeing good in each one, being open to all and learning from everyone for it can be achieved by being in company of poor in terms of materialistic wealth) , self acclaimed intellectuals, corporate, less learned people with wisdom, political. It would help give different perceptions and thus gain the wisdom to do what is right. Kabir Doha- Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala, Bura Naa Milya Koye Jo Munn Khoja Apnaa, To Mujhse Bura Naa Koye This doha deals with our perception, behavior and tendencies. It has been invariably noticed that we tend to find fault with someone else for our situations and circumstances. Our "I", the ego, always tries to put blame on others. Non-awareness of our own self is the cause of this attitude. Resultantly, we find ourselves being busy in criticizing and condemning others and conveniently term them as evil. So Kabir says that instead of finding fault in others, dive deep into your own-self. Amazingly, an honest introspection will reveal that all fault lies with "me" and "my" own perceptions and attitudes. If there is any evil, it is in "me". Correcting this and opting for a loving and compassionate attitude will change one's perceptions and the world will appear wonderful all over again
