Celebrate Your Achievements🔗

Only the one who is capable of listening to pure dharma is a person who is ready to transform. A person who is not ready to transform will find thousands of reasons not to sit here or not to listen. And you can always find a reason, it is not a big thing. You will find thousands of reasons not to listen.

Only the one who is capable of listening to the pure dharma and find trust in it can understand and live the dharma. Many times I have seen people come and sit and listen to all these things and at the end of the discourse, they come and tell me, 'Swamiji, I am listening to so many things and I really trust them but I don't know how to become enlightened.'

I tell them, first thing celebrate that you have taken such wonderful steps. First thing, you are sitting here. Second thing, you are feeling connected, that is the reason you are continuing to sit. Third thing, you are trying to work towards this. You trust it.

Celebrate all the achievements which you had, then we can find time later on to repent what we have not achieved. Do not take yourself for granted. Celebrate your being here and feeling connected and having trust in these great words. You have done a great thing.
