Definition of Right and Wrong
Some questions and answers from the Satsang (Not exact verbatim)
Q- What should I ask you Guruji?
If I tell you, then it is my question, and not yours. (Laughter) The question should come from with in. Only then it'll be a genuine question.
Q-Guruji, Is "Everything is fair in love and war"?
I'm not going to comment on these English proverbs. It is fair if there is love in war and there is war in love. If there is love in a war, civilians are not affected by the war. Unfortunately, recent wars are not like this.
And in love, often you see people fighting each other.
Q-You said that there is free will. If there is free will, then why there is so much misery in life?
There are few things that you can't change. If it is a rainy season, you can't stop the rain. But you can prevent yourself from getting wet, by carrying an umbrella - It is your free will, to carry an umbrella or not.
Q-Mind always like to do easy jobs. What to do Guruji?
The definition of 'right' is the action that gains you short term misery, and long term joy. The definition of 'wrong' is the action that gains you short term joy, and long term misery.
