Know the Truth

There is no use arguing and quarrelling amongst you.
Examine, experience and then you will know the truth. Be silent when you are still undecided or engaged in evaluating. Do not proclaim before you are convinced.
Of course, you must discard all evil in you before you can attempt to evaluate the mystery.
When faith dawns, it is very important to fence it with discipline and self-control. Just as the tender sapling is guarded with a fence to protect against the goats and cattle; you too should stay away from the motley crowd of cynics and unbelievers.
When your faith grows into a big tree, those very cattle which wanted to eat the young plant now lay and rest in the shade of the tree which has spread with lots of branches and leaves.
Baba (thought for the day)
 
Do you know what he is talking about?
 
Examine, experience and then you will know truth.
 
Truth seen inside and what we think is true outside are two different things, but in reality there is only one truth, the outer is just appearance and therefore, it is not true.
What looks outside as evil and what it looks like inside, that is not the same and therefore, I guess we have to evaluate the mystery.
But someone who is not looking for truth has no idea about what Baba is talking about here.
The dawn of faith, how does this dawn look? 
It is not exactly the same when the sun goes up, isn't it?
When I went to Baba he had a tree in his hand and I thought it was an uprooted tree, but maybe he was just about planting it and in the mean time it has grown into a tree, but what is that tree doing in finding that truth?
He seems to be talking about himself and we are the cattle resting in the shade of the big tree.
 
Do not proclaim before you are convinced.
 
I am convinced, I just don't know what this is all about and what is required.
The outside is not truth, it is just appearance and some can get more in difficulties than others, depending on what their duty is here and that can be quite difficult.  
There are actually two different types of appearances, something can look great and it is not and finding truth means to go beyond illusion and seeing reality as it is.
The other is about that what someone can see as not okay and it is not true and it looks all different in reality, to find truth is a challenge and to go for it is rewarding.
And it was Krishna that got in the dream rid of something and it really felt like in the Krishna stories, as he is the killer of demons, it was just getting rid of it. I was just glad about it.
It was inside in consciousness, in the self, not on the outside level. 
The way he did it inside in consciousness mirrored the problem of invincibility and why it was actually not used the right way, invincibility is about strength and it was taken care of that same way.
If I don't use the right words, it can be wrong understood, but for now it was too good to feel that it was gone.
