Let what comes come - let what goes go

[Guest guest]

Bhagavan usually gives us his teachings either in a

humorous or a casual way or by way of consolation.

 

During my early days at the Asramam, whenever I felt like

going home, I would approach Bhagavan at some time when

there were hardly any people present and say:

"I want to go home, Bhagavan, but I am afraid of falling

back into family muddles."

He would reply:

"Where is the question of our falling into anything when all

comes and falls into us?"

 

On another occasion, I said: " Swami, I am not yet freed

from these bonds."

Bhagavan replied:

"Let what comes come; let what goes go. Why do you worry?
