Unless this sharing develops, you will not be in a position to develop tolerance. This is another great virtue of this country which we are maintaining and we shall forever maintain, because this is consequent to that and this comes to you only when you learn to share and not behave impulsively towards certain things. This becomes natural once impulsive nature is reduced. A brother of mine was asking, some of us are prepared to share, some of us are not sir why is it so. I said yes, control has not come. Impulsive nature makes you hold it, you don’t want to share, and you would like to save it. Impulsive nature alone is the principle for saving, you would like to have it tomorrow. Saving is a very very obnoxious idea in spirituality that is why Prophet Mohammed said please do not bother about the next day, God is there, He will give. He was wise, and that’s why I think he also said don’t try to lend money, he said give it if you got money, give it, don’t lend. Lending was not permitted by him because who are you to lend. Whose is it? It is His. It belongs to the cosmos, nothing belongs to you. Everything belongs to the universe, nobody has got a right to say this is mine, because your existence itself is transient. Now, that we will come to later and naturally along with it comes service. So these two principles of spirituality will develop the moment you try to be attentive to the upper portion of your self, the aspiration portion of your self. This is the first thing that comes to you in this system.
Now when you sit in meditation thinking that there is Divine light in the heart, as I told you, you will get lot of thoughts, but then, when you learn to be attentive only to the Divine light and nothing else, everything else fades out into nothingness. They don’t have any impelling nature to attract your attention. That leads us to understand what exactly I am, who am I. This who am I question is one of the toughest questions to answer. If any one of you can help me with the definition of what you are as you understand, I will be very happy. You can at best tell me your name, you can give your physical description, your status - financial, official, relationships as wife, husband, son, father, so on and so forth. Kindly exclude these adjectives for yourself and then tell me what you are. You are none of these things, right? I have at least three names, one name is Narayana, but the other two names are also given to me. Most of us among Hindus we get more than one name. Physical descriptions - I am not the same physical body from childhood. You can’t give that, your weights vary, complexion varies. If you see all these things, can you think of yourself other
