RE: QS: In doing (karne mein), be careful (saavdhaan), in being (hone mein), remain happy (prasanna

[Guest guest]

IN ENGLISH Shree Hari The contemplating and inquiry that you are doing is very wonderful. I would like to attempt to share the thoughts that are coming to my mind

on this topic. At first, when does a spiritual aspirant question the act of doing something? One needs to ponder over this for a moment. If a spiritual aspirant has completely surrendered to God, then he has no independent existence i.e. the sense of "me and mine" (mai-pana) is non-existent. With that, whatever is happening through him, is happening by God's will. When these happenings are not tainted with a sense of mine-ness, then there is no __expression such as - "I am doing this ," His life becomes complete, as he becomes a mere instrument in the hands of the Lord. The sadhak is neither elated, nor dejected, as to him "his happiness

lies in keeping God happy. " No such question arises to a sharanagat bhakt, for he has already attained God Realization. For those aspirants following the path of devotion, they must definitely contemplate on this point, as discrimation (vivek) is helpful to all three paths - gyan (Knowledge), karma (Action) and bhakti (devotion). God has bestowed upon us the ability to do things . To make God happy, the loving devotee of God, who looks upon the world and God's creation

as God's Universal form , as God Himself, he uses these abilities bestowed on him by engaging himself in the service of all . That devotee, does not desire anything for Himself, the sole and only purpose of His existence is "How can my God remain ever happy?" Just like a devout married woman, wearing a small bindi on her forehead , does everything to keep her husband happy - "Tat Sukhe Sukhitwam" Her only desire - You remain happy, you remain satisfied. Where does she have time to think about her own self ! In Path of Knowledge (Gyan marg), the aspirant 's understanding is that the Self as apart from the modes of nature, and that all activities are happening in nature, while the Self is apart, pure, with perfect knowledge. He remains in seclusion, spending less time in relating with the world and more in inquiry of the Self, living on minimal in order to sustain life . Focused primarily on his spiritual practices, and self contemplation, for him this Self Inquiry itself is his "Act of Doing". Staying alert and free from laziness, he remains actively and enthusiastically engaged in his spiritual practices. The act of doing appears to be of greater significance to a Karma Yogi. He is of the mindset that there is nothing in the world that is his own, everything including the body and things

needed to maintain it have been acquired from the world. Therefore whatever capabilities / things that have been given to him by the world, are to be dedicated to serving and giving back to the world. There is nothing to be done for the self. It is offering back to the world, what it received from it. He does not believe anything to be his own (mera), and dedicates the body, mind, intellect and everything to service of the world. Whatever is done in terms of actions, must be done according to dharma and as explicitly stated in-depthscriptural teachings (rightful / wrongful conduct and actions). Swamiji Maharaj used to say that on having attained a human birth, we are to do only to two things. 1) Remember God and 2) Make others happy. He expressed that in these two points, the essence, the nectar squeezed from all our scriptures is made available to us. Let us all, aspiring devotees and lovers of God, using our discriminatory faculty (vivek), understand God's Universal form (this world), and by serving it, attain God's ever increasing divine love ..... and for realizing this, our loving God, by showering His grace, has blessed us with this human life, so let us pray that we may be an instrument in doing his divine work.
