00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:08.199
Something I want to bring up to
your attention. It's something that I'm having
2
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.439
a hard time with. Now it
makes perfect sense to me, but I'm
3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.439
still having a hard time with it. So I wanted to share that with
4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.839
you and see if you felt the
same. The thought comes from reading The
5
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.239
Living Gida by sus Swami Sachidananda,
and there's a part in there where Krishna
6
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.280
is telling ar Yuna that we are
all one. And we've heard a lot
7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.920
about that in this new thought,
new age movement, whatever you want to
8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.920
call what we're doing here, the
fact that we are all one. But
9
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:39.479
what exactly does that mean at the
core of it, Well, I would
10
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.280
think that what it means is that
when you look at another person, you're
11
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:48.119
really looking at yourself in a different
situation, in a different body and a
12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:53.880
different personality, a different you,
but you nonetheless. And then he talks
13
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.880
about chocolate. I know, I
love chocolate. There's all so many different
14
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.040
types of chocolate, different sizes and
shapes and flavors. And you go to
15
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.920
a candy store and the kids order
one kind of chocolate. The other kid
16
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.159
orders a round chocolate, another one
orders a square chocolate, and they're all
17
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.680
arguing about which one's the best.
Oh, mind tastes better, No mind
18
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.840
tastes better. At the end of
the day, it's all chocolate, right,
19
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.280
It's all the same thing. They're
just in different forms, different shapes,
20
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.000
but they're the same thing. So
I have a hard time with that
21
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:33.920
because in this age of complete and
utter division in our country, at the
22
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.799
very least here in the United States, when you look at someone across the
23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.599
aisle and you see the things that
you feel are so incredibly heinous that you
24
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:47.760
can't believe that they would actually believe
some of the things, you start to
25
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.560
demonize them. You start to see
them as not you. And that's one
26
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.239
of the things that I'm working on. One of the hardest things that I'm
27
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:59.159
working on is when I look at
you, I want to see me in
28
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:02.560
another circumstance. It's important for you
to be in a different circumstance, because
29
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:07.400
that's why we're here, to experience
all circumstances, in all points of view
30
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:13.080
and all examples of what we could
possibly be and think and feel. And
31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.639
so instead of demonizing someone from the
other side of the aisle, I'm trying
32
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.560
to see them and celebrate them as
who they are, and that is someone
33
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:27.680
that is me trying to experience something
completely different than what I in will form
34
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.759
is experiencing. And that's beautiful when
you think of it that way, when
35
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.240
you can see yourself. And there
have been times when I've been driving down
36
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.639
the street and suddenly I feel this
connectedness with everyone else around me that's driving
37
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.080
as well, everyone in their cars, everyone in the street. I just
38
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:49.599
see them as me in different circumstances
and that changes everything, everything, and
39
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.759
that's really amazing. But it's so
easy to fall out of it, especially
40
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.280
these days. So I urge you
and encourage you to try that today,
41
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.960
and everyone you see, try to
see them as another you in a different
42
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.199
circumstance, because honestly, that's the
reality of it. They are a different
43
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:15.800
you in a different experience, and
that is perfectly okay, that is divinely
44
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.360
okay. You see, we need
to celebrate each other in our different circumstances
45
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:23.000
so that when we reunite as one
in the astral plane, we can bring
46
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:30.520
these experiences and this knowledge to ourselves
in oneness. Does that make any sense?
47
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.639
I hope it does, because when
I started it made perfect sense in
48
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:38.240
my head, and now I might've
talked myself into a tizzy. Anyway,
49
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.319
Just remember when you look across the
aisle, you're seeing you looking at you
50
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:47.080
across the aisle, So try to
do that with love.
