Transcript:
When ignorance ends, enlightenment begins.

It is a very challenging thing to be balanced in life. We possess strong emotions, we face problems every day and there is corruption and confusion in society. Religious and political divisions exist. Injustice, poverty and sorrows are all around us. We do not know how to stay balanced. A single word can make a person lose balance. We resist and resistance works in contradiction to balance. Our emotions are always floating on the surface in our minds. It is important to understand them because understanding brings balance. But this understanding has to be right.

The greater the emotions the greater the ripples and tides get. Children throw rocks into the lake. They see ripples and they cannot stop throwing rocks because the rocks create a reaction in the water and where there is reaction there is more suffering. The lake suffers. Its peace is disrupted. If children throw rocks into the mud there is no reaction from the mud so they stop throwing. Where there is reaction there is imbalance.

A balanced state is when you do not react to either praise or criticism. People want to know what enlightenment is. When life is balanced enlightenment begins and ignorance ends. Lao Tsu, the wise man of China was offered by the king to live in his palace, in luxury accommodations. Lao Tsu who was lying down by a muddy lake asked the king's men, "do you see the turtles in this lake, if you take this turtle and place him on a golden chair in the palace do you think he will be happy? He is happy in the mud." He said, "I am like this turtle. I am happy in nature." Lao Tsu also taught not to react in any situation because when we react we are already physically and mentally drawn down. We are no longer our own masters. If you are not the master of yourself you are not going to be enlightened. Be your own master. Whatever you do, do it with awareness. When you pick up a glass of wine to drink you are master of yourself but after you drink the wine you will not be master of yourself. If you are not your own master, ignorance and imbalance will take over you.

When imbalance ends, ignorance ends and enlightenment begins. Remain the same in tough or easy situations, in praise or criticism. When a person does this he or she is going towards enlightenment. Make your life like a lotus flower that is unaffected by the ripples of anger or ego and you will be enlightened one day.
