Why Does The Mind Constantly Seek Pleasure

The mind that seeks pleasure cannot be centred. When you are centred, all pleasures come to you anyway, but they cannot charm you any longer because you are the source of the charm.

The mind that seeks pleasure can never achieve the highest.

And if you enjoy drowning in your suffering, you cannot be centred; you are far away from the Path.

If you are after pleasure, forget about Satsang. Why are you wasting your time? This is the Art of Leaving.

You either seek pleasure or come to me.

Susannah: What should we do when people talk negatively?

Gurudev: From your side, give license to everybody to talk about anything, about anybody, anywhere, at any time.

Exercise: Talk maximum negativity about everybody this whole week. This is a challenge.
