viewpoint and become obstinate, then ‘we’ will let go. ‘We’
would recognize that you do not see what ‘we’ are saying; so
how long can ‘we’ sit there and explain things to you? One
should not remain sitting forever, should he? Should we not just
move along? The other person cannot see beyond his viewpoint,

If a man is standing with a white horse about 300 feet
from here, and you ask someone, ‘what is that standing over

a cow, so should we hit him because of that? No! He cannot see
at distance, so where is he at fault? At least it is good that he
is not calling it a donkey! You will have to accept that. He says
what he sees. That is how this world is. Each person says what
he sees.
Do you understand what I am saying from this example of
a donkey? Would people not say things as they see them? You
should understand that is what the poor man sees and that is
why he says what he does. You should tell him, ‘you are right.’
According to what you see, you are right. You should not tell
him ‘I am right according to my viewpoint’, either. Otherwise, he
will say ‘wait, tell me what is your viewpoint’. On the contrary,
he will make you sit. Instead, tell him he is correct in what he
sees and move on.
‘We’ may look naive but ‘we’ are very shrewd. ‘We’
may appear like a child but ‘we’ are very shrewd. ‘We’ will not
sit around with anyone. ‘We’ will move on. ‘We’ will not hinder
‘our’ progress.
The Gnani Purush has only talks that are of benefit to all.
Even if you understand only two of His words, it is enough. If
you understand just two of His words and if you take them to
heart and digest only one of the two words, that word will not
leave you until You attain liberation. That is how much energy
