single word ''and'' in between tea and coffee has made all the difference

i see infinity in this word '' and'

'if you had said simply '' tea '' or simply ''coffee'', or even ''tea or coffee''both your tea or coffee to me would have become tasteless in life ,

 ''or'' is a big mischief maker, with this fellow, you will loose half the world mostly we are stuck with ''or''

so i tend to say ''or'' is a devil, choice is limitation , robber

  where as ''and'' is god, choice less whole, you have the whole universe in it

  one poet kalidas? was too smart to ask the goddess saraswathi, to give both --when she asked him choose one out of two boons she offered

 what these two boons , i forgot but here the point is he got unlimted blessing by opting for both, did not loose either"

  sama drushti

if one rises to the state of

1 ”aham brahmasmi…i am god”, then that vision sees..

2 ”thath thvam asi……you are god”, and

3 ”sarvam khalvidam brahma……all is god”, and

4 ”ayam athma brahma……. The individual soul is god ”

Then in that vision
there is no ‘’holier than thou’’, no big, no small
all are His Holiness
all are worthy of worship,
the self of all is seen as the self of one’s self
shankara seeing divinity in chandala

it is sama drushti, seeing the equality

    sathguru

way he knows

he shows

he lives,

tells how to liv

he has no doubts,

clears all doubts

He walks, 

yet is above the earth, untouched by earthly

he talks, 

yet his message is silence

he works, 

yet he leaves no marks,

he does sleep, 

yet he is awake witnessing his sleep

every thing inert

every being animate

hillock to high hill, tiny stream to flooding river

every jeeva ameoba to manava to great baba are all gurus

yet sathguru is unique

he is monarch, no fake

sathguru is a mirror to teach how you are 

and how you can be

Teacher is not to teach

student is to learn each

intelligent learns from the worst

dull gains not from the best

Best teaching is silence

best teacher is silent

gurosthu mouna vyaakhyaanam

shishyath chinna samshayaa

guru's silent commentary 

cleared shishya's doubts
