Comb of Knowledge

I remember last time Guruji came to one of the sessions and started talking with us and at the same time He was gracefully combing His hair! And I wondered why is He combing His hair in session! I know He is very very busy, but still never seen Him combing His hair in any satsang or session! As it is said every moment, every act, every word, every look, every pause, even a smile of the Master conveys some meaning some deep knowledge, what is it now? Am I missing something?

Ahhaaa, I remembered once someone said to Guruji in satsang seeing His long hair and long beard 'Do you need the address of a good barber?'

And here came the answer, Guruji said 'These very hair can give you the essence of your life, everyone of us are like our hair, see every hair has come from the head separate and when they are short its okay there is no problem! Like when we were all children there is no problem, we fought and we were alright the next day. But when we grow older you know they all get tangled entangled.

Same thing has happened, you all grow up and get entangled one inside the other. We get into a mess, the whole society gets into a mess, then you need the comb of the knowledge. You have to worry about the barber if you don't have comb of knowledge. When you have comb of knowledge it can keep all the hair straight and they can all be together.

Same thing happens in society without knowledge without wisdom we get entangled into each other. Our minds are full of hatred, cravings or aversions for each other. Just look into anybody's mind there is feverishness about somebody, craving or aversion, hatred, with wisdom and knowledge we can keep the society straight. If everybody in the society lives in the present moment; able to accept people as they are and are with a smile, then where is the problem? Do you see that?

We have problem with brother and sister, husband and wife, in relationships, children, neighbors, friends name it...except our pets, even with our cars we have problem! So knowledge is very essential. Knowledge is not just reading the books, you know? The awareness...awareness, don't you think so?'

Yes, knowledge with awareness. Else knowledge without awareness is just like a needle without thread, which cannot sew anything but pricks you a lot.
