SADNESS IS TO BE AVOIDED
Sadness is the most dangerous thing for Sahaja Yogis.
There is no need to be sad over anything. You are a pure soul. You are beyond mind, intellect, body, emotion. Only you are forgetting how high you have been made to sit. Being sad, you start working against your mother. You become a slave of past karma, your bad habit or evil force. Then you don't recognize yourself. You lose your sanity. That's why always remember one thing, never be sad about anything. If you have made any mistake, then immediately forgive yourself and do not make such mistake again. You have been seated in the kingdom of God.
Some people are sad because someone disturbs them or they are also sad because of their own faults. But can Chaitanya Lahari be attained by being sad or having an argument with someone? Will God get a lot of pleasure when you are sad? This can never happen. You have to enjoy purity and innocence like Shri Ganeshji.
When you suddenly become very sad in front of your mother's photo, then the mother also feels sad. This is a very serious problem. You have to be happy always.
Love is knowledge, and knowledge is love. Nothing further than this. If you have knowledge, it has to pass the test of love. If you know someone, it has no effect on you because you know him externally. But if you love someone then only you understand him well. Very well you know him the way he is. This is the knowledge which we call Paragyan. This is the knowledge we have to seek."
