Love is a highly exclusive thing. You just cannot love wisdom and nonsense in the same way. You cannot talk of the highest and the lowest in the same breath. You must learn to exclude. You must learn to reserve. You must learn to see distinction before you come to see unity. If someone starts talking of unity without firstly being adept in the art of discretion, then he is just fooling himself.

It’s a process in levels. At the lowest level are people who see no distinction. To them clean and unclean are the same. To them right and wrong are the same. Therefore, in the name of rightness, what they usually do is something wrong. To them dharma, adharma are same. In the name of dharma, what they usually engage in is adharma. This is the lowest level of people. They just cannot differentiate; they have no discretion.

Now from this stage, to take you beyond this stage, spiritual practice starts. And spiritual practice is about learning to differentiate. Learn to differentiate first of all; learn to see that Truth and Maya are different; learn to see that wisdom and foolishness are different; learn to see that freedom and bondage are different. And once you have become adept in seeing the differences, you then come to a point when you see that even that which is false, is false only because it was approaching Truth in a convoluted way, in a personal way. So the false too is actually a lover of Truth; therefore, the false too deserves consideration and compassion. That is after stage two. In stage two first of all you must practice the art of the β€˜viveka’ or discretion, differentiation, and only after that you come to a point where you become capable of β€˜ananyatā’ or unity.
