Nobody looks at himself.
Nobody looks at himself.
The day you start looking at yourself you are a sannyasin.
The day you start looking at yourself a great change is on the way.
You have taken the first step -- against lust, towards love; against desire, towards desirelessness --
Because when you see your own hands, they have been burnt so many times, you are carrying so many wounds.
Looking at others is just a way of avoiding looking at oneself.
Whenever you criticize somebody else, watch: it is a trick of the mind so that you can forgive yourself.
People go on criticizing others; when they criticize the whole world they feel very good.
In comparison they can think they are not worse than otherpeople; in fact, they are better.
That's why when you criticize somebody, you exaggerate, you go to the very extreme; you make a mountain out of a molehill;you go on making the mountain bigger and bigger and bigger, then your own mountain looks very small.
You feel happy.
Stop this!
This is not going to help you.
This is very suicidal.
Here you are not to think about others. Your life is yours.
Thinking about others is not going to be of any benefit.
Think about yourself.
Meditate about your own self.
