Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 D. Bhagavan said yesterday that while one is engaged in search of God "within" , "outer" work would go on automatically. In the life of Sri Chaitanya it is said that during his lectures to students he was really seeking Krishna (Self) within , forgot all about his body , and went on talking of Krishna only. This raises a doubt whether work can safely be left to itself. Should one keep part-attention on the physical work ? Maharshi : The Self is all. Are you apart from the Self? Or can the work go on without the Self ? The Self is universal: so all actions will go on whether you strain yourself to be engaged in them or not. The work will go on of itself. Thus Krishna told Arjuna that he need not trouble to kill the Kauravas ; they were already slain by God. It was not for him to resolve to work and worry himself about it, but to allow his own nature to carry out the will of the Higher Power.
