Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Question from Shubal and Durga: This is a followup to a Q&A between a devotee and Swamiji as under - Question : How to make a goal (resolve) and yet be detached from the goal itself. Answer: Defining a pure goal which includes renunciation and making our motives pure will yield the proper results. Some attachments are pure and will lead us to freedom. Some attachments are a bondage. The function of discrimination is to determine what is appropriate according to each of our circumstances. Our Question: How is living one's dharma and being in alignment with the yamas in every moment not sufficient for living a pure life? Swamiji's response: If one is living his or her dharma in alignment with the yamas in every moment, that is living a pure life. The question is how does one define Dharma, the highest ideal of perfection, without defining the goals of life? I suggest it is impossible.
