What is the mark of a cultured and educated person? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
Inner
cleanliness, keeping the mind and the intellect serene and sacred, free
from dirt, is very important for a seeker. When thoughts and feelings
are impure and agitated, you cannot be calm and happy. When the mind is
polluted, reactions are polluted. To keep the mind clean, you must
empathetically analyse situations involving others and their activities,
and then decide on how to respond to them. Do not rush to draw
conclusions. Following others’ reactions is not desirable. One must
resolve on any action only after intelligent discrimination and inquiry.
“Some of our people are doing this, so we will do it too” - this
attitude is mean and demeaning, it is a sign of weakness. It is the
consequence of basic ignorance. Sheep behave in that manner. Born as
people, moving about as educated persons, yet stupidly following others
as sheep do and polluting the minds with ideas borrowed from the lips of
others — these things are to be avoided.
- Vidya Vahini, Ch 16.
