Usually it is pride that takes over a person who has learnt a little bit of the scriptures. though in reality he is supposed to be just the opposite. there are some attributes of the saints, that we have missed i feel. we are only looking at their works and analysing them but what of their souls how come they are able to have no pride at all. the more they know the more common plain they become. They did not follow the acharam which the forward classes followed. nothing mattered to them. how come such rules arose how come then some people called it the hymns for the drowning literally translating the word. if you study the grid as it were the background that one comes from plays such an important role to what one becomes. it sounds contradictory no wonder rules were formed. but in doing so some of them went way beyond the practical.
yeh its all very confusing it is.
An ignorant mans vision is gross and physical. hence he sees the several objects as so many different things. but a wise mans vision is subtle and he perceives the unity underlying the apparent diversity. this is what is called equal vision. Does the wise man then give the same or equal treatment to all. even the most casual observation will reveal that Nature means diversity and difference. In health wealth authority even in physical matters like colour, height weight sound etc. there is no equality even among children of same parents. So the idea of perfect equality is a myth. both of the physical and mental planes, inequality reigns supreme and it is the law of nature. Sadhana consists in eliminating mental inequalities and rising into an absolute plane of perfect equality and then the inequalities of the physical plane though always there do not make themselves felt. The doctrine of equality has often been misunderstood and even abused by interested parties. Many pose as philosophers and os such imposters it is usually made fun of saying philosophers are approaching take care of your possessions as they make no distinction between yours and mine. wise men therefore counsel to adopt equality only in bhava. In our dealings with others and our worldly possessions we cannot and should not enforce the doctrine of equality. A sadhaka however can, as far as he is subjectively concerned, exemplify the principle in his life and conduct without detriment to others interests. but he should not shelter himself under the doctrine of equality and try gratifying his selfish needs. All creatures are essentially divine, but the difference of their upadhis or bodies do count in the practical world. A tiger too is Narayana but bow to him from a distance.
