 A very beautiful incident happened in Ramayana. Rama, too many unfortunate happenings in his life. He is a king, for some reason he loses his kingdom or he gives up his kingdom of whichever way, or he's conned out of his kingdom or he's too gentle to protest and walks away from it into the jungle, lives a hard life. Then his wife gets kidnapped by Ravana and then having love for his wife and being despondent about the loss of her and being concerned what could be happening to her, he walks all the way down south, gathers an army of Tamil people. Yeah, who else was in Tamil Nadu? And gets across to Sri Lanka, wages a war, defeats Ravana in the battle, slays him. As all of you know, Ravana had ten heads with one year struggling. He had ten. So Rama went about ten slaughters so that the man is dead. Battle one, they're coming back to Ayodhya. Rama chooses, he says, I don't want to go back to the kingdom. I want to go to Himalayas and spend some time in the cave of Agastya Muni because I want to repent for the great sin that I have committed. I have killed someone who aspires, a great devotee of Shiva, a phenomenal scholar, a great king, a generous man. The others were shocked. Lakshmana, his brother said, what are you talking about? Ravana kidnapped your wife. So Rama said, see, those are the other nine heads. In these other nine heads of his, he had greed, jealousy, lust, all kinds of things. But there was one head which had great wisdom, knowledge, petty, devotion. I regret taking that head. I would have liked to leave that head alone, not kill the man. But there was no way to do it, so I had to do this. But I am in great repentance because I took away that one head. What this is trying to tell you is, all of you have ten or more heads, all kinds of things. Do you see, one day your head is in greed, another day in jealousy, another day in hatred, another day in love, another day in beauty, another day in ugliness. Yes or no? Or the same day you go through everything. If I see you in a moment of jealousy, I'll say this is a jealous one. If I see you in a moment of greed, I'll say this is a greedy one. If I see you in a moment of hatred, I'll say that is a hateful one. If I see you in a moment of lust, I'll say that's a lustful one. No, no, everybody has ten and more heads. At different times, different heads are working. But everybody has head, at least one head of love, beauty, generosity, compassion, at least one head. There is… So the biggest mistake you do in your life is that instead of identifying and condemning a quality, you condemn an individual person. This is what Rama is trying to say. It doesn't matter. He did so many horrible things. Those are the other nine heads, but that one head I saw of tremendous possibility. But unfortunately I had to take that. I want all of you to follow this fundamental principle in the ashram and wherever else you may be, that if you see something wrong in somebody, we will only condemn that, not him or her. If you bring this wisdom in this new year, if you just bring this wisdom, this bogey, all the baggage will go. When you do this to others, the same will happen to you. There is no need to conclude, I am this way, I am that way or I am like this only. Well, that's how you've been in some moments. In some moments you've been a horrible creature. In some moments you've been beautiful. In some moments you've been ugly. In some moments you've been wonderful. If you don't empower the possibility and take away that which blocks your possibility, then you are not a spiritual seeker. You are a, you know, we must make you a kangaroo court judge. She's not okay, she's not okay, he's not okay, he's not okay, he's not okay, he's not okay. And there are a few new people here whom we're yet to know, they are beautiful, you know. That is a judgmental life. Otherwise, the more you get to know somebody, more love and compassion should happen because now you know all their struggles and problems and things. And suddenly you know they're bloody as human as you are. Yes? Rama is doing penance for having killed a man who kidnaps his wife and he's done many terrible things. But Rama is still identifying. There was one head which was so beautiful, tch, I shouldn't have removed that. This is a man of great wisdom. This is why he's worshipped every sensible human being. It's like this, if you see a rose plant, we call it a rose plant. Tell me, are there more roses or more thorns? More thorns, but we call it a rose plant because we recognize the beauty. Maybe only one rose, but thousand thongs, but we still call it a rose plant. If you see a mango tree, there are more mangoes or more leaves, definitely more leaves. We don't call it a leaf tree, we call it a mango tree because we recognize the sweetness that it drops. Those drops of sweetness, full of leaf, but that one mango, wow, mango tree. Why don't we see this in people, hmm? If there is one drop of sweetness, have you seen any human being without a single drop of sweetness? Have you seen? Then please do this. Before pungal or mutt pungal comes, depending on which category you are. Please everybody around you, the people that you work with on a daily basis, people with whom you've been rubbing, no, not rubbing shoulders. No, no, no. Just do this. The people that you… that horrible person, this terrible woman, just see that one drop of sweetness can you recognize because if you cannot recognize that, it will not reflect in you, you better know that. Terrible things that you see in other people will reflect in you. This does not mean you should become blind to everything. No, we see the leaf in the tree, we see the thongs in the rose bush, but we acknowledge the flower and the fruit, that's all we need to do. Rama's birthday is also coming in a couple of months, let's make this happen.
