Ajahn Brahmali talks about the four sublime states (brahmaviharas) and how they help in the unfolding of the Path to liberation. Developing loving-kindness (metta) to a very pure standard, compassion (karuna) focussing on the relief of suffering, joy or the gladness of the mind (muditha) resulting from seeing the spiritual success in your own life and in the lives of others and lastly equanimity (upekkha), the highest of the four, which is viewing the world through the lens of the Dhamma, with a neutral and unbiased mind. When developing each of these four, Ajahn warns about the near- and the far-enemy and advises to recognize and keep away from these misleading states of the mind. The Q&A which follows includes topics such as the ego, difficult workplace situations and having a stream-winner as a role model.
