Descriptions Vs Explanations - 31st March 2020

Now I want to tell you two things about this conversation and one will be something I touched upon even last time. That part I said of our description versus an explanation is very, very important. It is very, very important. Although you cannot ever truly describe it—you cannot ever truly describe—but it is at least one level of delusion away from your explanation, you see. Okay, let me spend some time. So in my description I can say a hand seems to be appearing to me. This hand seems to have these five things which are called fingers and it seems to have these lines, you see. That is the description because it is as close to as possible to what is phenomenally appearing. We can never truly describe, you see, and yet it is better than saying, 'Oh my fingers were so long, it is because my mother had long fingers and I took a lot of things from my mother,' you see. That is what an explanation sounds like. It's a lot of interpretation. It's a lot of judgment about what is good, what is bad, a lot of those things which get on, and we can never come to the truth by way of this method, you see. Or let's not say never, but it is very, very full of detours and complexity if you try to come to the truth in this way.

So, so this advice of describing instead of explaining so that it becomes simpler and we can meet it more directly. So that is the first aspect. Now the second aspect I've forgotten is for speech to force that so, but do you see itself is very helpful because you will notice in your hands all kinds of explanations are there.

In this case, explained or described, how is it Guruji? Like, I mean, don't differentiate here. Fine, hands evidence, okay fine. But sort of I can't really show you is that if any past is getting mixed or any future is being projected, then it is no longer the description, it's an explanation.

Simple thing: if there is an ability to put, insert it into a story—'Oh my hand was already like this'—so like what is fine, that much is fine that when it is for pure purposes of being able to report the symptoms then that is fine. But if you want to insert the whole story, including the story of Satsang within explanation of a life or the story of a life, then that is when it becomes problematic. Means in the sense that even this, even this conversation that we are having is cleaning it in the story of past, present, and future. They really came to the point: if you are meeting this fresh from no perspective, just to cure and press the communication can happen descriptively about what is appearing or not, then that is when we have a possibility of meeting in a much more simply simple way.

Yeah, now this, this may seem a bit difficult initially because we are used to leading a life in this way where everything seems to, every moment of our pure experience, things seems to be cleaned in, in a past and going towards the future. But as you're meeting means that some you will find that it is not that way, you see. It is not this way at all. These things should not judge anybody, should not is the case. Yes, should not, not judge, should not this. Now that, how do you do that? So this was the second point. Good.
