Guest guest Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 That afternoon I had my farewell talk with the Maharshi. He was so gentle and human. We discussed the difficulties of everyday life and mundane problems. I asked again about the relation of the body to the 'I'. He gave this simile. " You came up from the bungalow this morning in a cart. Yet you do not say, 'The cart came up'. You say 'I came up'. You did not make the mistake of identifying yourself with the cart. In the same way, look upon your body as you do the cart. Treat it well, and it will be a good servant and instrument. But do not be deceived into thinking it is 'I'. " He again stressed the necessity to see only the Self in everything. Act automatically, so to speak, and let 'It' do the work. " And 'It' always will, " he added. " Do not look for results. Do what is right in the given moment and leave it behind you. " .............. I especially like the part at the end, where it says: " Act automatically, so to speak, and let 'It' do the work. " And 'It' always will, " he added. " Do not look for results. Do what is right in the given moment and leave it behind you. " A simple prescription for the walking of each moment.
