Differences, Decision-making, and Wholehearted Cooperation.
****

“... Decision honey se pahle differences hone munasib hain, disagreement ho tho apni raay kayam karen wa express karen, doosron ki sunen, isse ek-doosre ke ideas clear ho jathe hain. Lekin ek martabe jab decision le liya gaya, tab wah sab ki raay ho jaana chahiye, aur phir baad mein khyal nahin hona chahiye ki main aisa nahin chahta tha.”

---- Param Guru Huzur Lal Saheb Ji.

Its simple translation into English may be rendered as follows:

“... Prior to the taking of a decision, the existence of differences is natural. When differences exist, state your opinion, listen to what others say, this leads to one another’s ideas getting clearer. However, once a decision has been taken, then it should become the resolve of everyone, and then later on nobody should think that {she or} he had not wanted it that way.”

On Developing Purity of Intellect.
****

“... to obtain full benefit from religion and true Guru, it is very essential to have pure intellect.... How to acquire the purity of intellect? The person who wants to have purity of intellect has essentially to keep his eyes and ears open. He should listen to everything and ponder over it, and after thoroughly considering the pros and cons, adopt those that are essential and useful, and give up the nonessential and useless ones. He should act only after careful consideration and listen attentively to whatever is said. Thus, if effort is made to bear in mind the above instructions and one tries to develop purity of intellect, there is no reason to doubt the success. Even if one gets true Satsang, he would derive no benefit without developing a pure and chaste intellect....”
