music and your eyes will see the musician – is it notcooperation between the limbs? When you take food,the tongue and the mouth take food with the help ofthe hand. The mouth supplies through the oesophagusto the stomach. So the food is not for the mouth. Theoesophagus receives it and gives it to the stomach; itdoes not hold it. The stomach contributes to digestionby giving it to the small intestine. The small intestinefurther digests the food and leaves the rest of the foodmaterial to the large intestine. Then the waste is sentout by the colon. So, who is eating the food? The handis not eating. The mouth is not eating, the eye thatsees the food is not eating, the nose that smells thefood is not eating, the oesophagus is not eating, thestomach and the intestines are not eating? No organ iseating the food by itself. No organ is eating by itself,but all are energised and each one receives the energy.That is the nature. If the cow is eating grass, what isit eating and what is it delivering? It eats grass andgives milk. It is not drinking milk and giving grass. Sowhat it contributes is much more valuable than what ittakes. See the tree, it gives shade, it gives fruits and itgives wood. If one sees like this in nature, everything isoffering and is therefore getting energised.In a group activity each brother has to give valuablethings to the group, not useless things. Critical talkabout the group is contributing useless things to thegroup. Speaking ill of the brother in his absence iscontributing poison to the group. One should havecourage and conviction to express what one feelsabout the other and clear the mist. One should notallow it to grow. One has to clear. Then only one willfind through a cycle of twelve years a brother, a codisciple.Twelve years! When one and one’s co-disciplehave associated so intensely with a good activity fortwelve years, whatever may happen through time, theycannot disown them. That is a pact, a commitment.They should support each other and they shouldmove together. Even if one loses something throughfriendship and through brotherliness, better to losethan to run away from commitment. To be togetherwhen convenient and not to be together when notconvenient is a personality action. That is where wehave the spirit of brotherliness. The Pythagorean groupsdemonstrated an outstanding spirit of brotherhood.The Master ensured that the spirit is always very high.Only the spirit of brotherliness enables one to contactthe white brotherhood.A member of the Pythagorean brotherhood wasonce on a travel. He stayed in a tavern for a night,but that night he became sick and he could not moveaway from the tavern. The owner of the tavern helpedhim for 40 days, but then the Pythagorean memberdid not survive. He incurred a great debt to the tavern88 89
owner, because of the treatment. He was not able topay him. But before he died, he made certain signs onthe wall of the tavern. The tavern owner arranged forhis burial and continued his work serving the travellersthat visited his tavern. How great he was! After a fewyears another Pythagorean member came to the tavernand stayed there for a night. Next day morning beforehe left, he gave a huge quantity of gold to the tavernowner saying that this money was due to him. Thetavern owner asked, “Why are you giving so much goldto me?” Then the Pythagorean member answered, “Abrother of mine came here. You have served him andhe passed away. Thereby he owed you a lot of money.That money I give you now, with some added money,considering how much the money would have grownin all these years, and I thank you for your help to mybrother.” The tavern owner was surprised, for he neverspoke of this to anyone; he also gradually forgot aboutthe related expenditure. Now comes the money. Heasked the Pythagorean member, “How do you knowall this? I never told anyone.” Then the Pythagoreansaid, “My brother left some marks on the wall. Thosemarks gave me a message and it is my duty to clear hisdebt to you.”That is the brotherhood. Commitment to standby – that is what is meant by brotherliness to one’sco-disciples. A person who has such commitment ismore honoured in the subtle plane, but not those whoescape from the situation. Such is the law relating tobrotherliness to one’s co-disciples.90 91
