The Art Of Learning 

We teach everyone; all the children, give, learn to give and learn to give. But as far as you are concerned, five pennies will not go out of your hand. You will think ten times before you give five penny even to the most wonderful man in the world. Who will take care of me if I give it away? All those good works; some rich man has to pay. Why I should pay? And lot of people who pay, make sure that everybody knows that he has paid something. So the rooms will be named after them or the auditoriums will be named after them or the stadiums will be named after them. Or else, they will not give the money. First they must make sure everybody that knows that you are a Good Samaritan, paying good money. It is found that if you put their name, people give money.

You are trying to put all your energy in trying to look good to be a good citizen, to be an honest man whom you are not. Only you are interested in protecting your property, you are protecting your wife; you are protecting your good status in society. We are always interested in protecting what you have already got. All inquisitiveness, openness, all real things that matters in life is lost.We say I am a student but where is the studentship?

All your knowledge is all what we call dirty water; no more new thing going through; the new thing is possible only if you are courageous enough to let go everything that you had before and be able to take on something new and trust. Until you have total renunciation, wisdom cannot be present.

"Only people with total renunciation can be true leaders, 

                                                       can be true inspirers can be true learners."

LIVING IN SATYA

Actually there is nothing to learn, being truthful and open to everything is the first thing. If you are daring enough to be truthful, you don’t have to learn anything. You don’t have to go on sitting in a place because you are always learning when you are in the state of absolute truthfulness. All the learning will come to you automatically.

Admitting and accepting your present state gives newer possibilities of learning. With honesty and truthfulness something beautiful will happen out of it.

STATE OF ZERO IDENTITY

Your learning ability really comes out of you being nobody. Childlike-ness is the prerequisite for learn-ability. Because you are no stake to what come you have learnt before and out of total renunciation within that you catch new ideas, new concepts much more easily and open.

LEARNING & SANYAS

As soon as you start asserting your rights and knowingness everybody will leave you. You start with- I don’t know where I am, everybody will say you come here, we will take care of you. Experience not being bound by these securities and rele only on god’s favor and be childlike and then see what happens.

NON POSSESSIVENESS

Under this paradigm of newer possible richness, you can still have property but your owner ship of that will disappear. Then you will find that wherever you go everything is available. To be able to take up a new idea, the requirement is you must be able to let go the previous idea. As if you are a new born child baby entered into the world, now you start your adventure. You go and be the messenger of God, naked, that’s it.
