The Highest Consolation

In this field of outer vyavahara (society), do what the situation

calls for. Do the needful. Supposing a very bad accident case is

rushed by ambulance to the emergency care section of the hospital.

Immediately the surgeons are summoned and they start working. Even

though the case looks hopeless, they will work with all their might,

with all thier heart, with all their attention. They will try to do

their utmost best to save the person. They will never say: " No use,

it is hopeless; what is the use of wasting our time and energy? "

 

So, do the needful. That is skill in action. Enduring all things

with total detachment and dispassion, do the n eedful. Ours is to do

and leave the rest in the hands of God. For all doings are

ultimately in His hands.

 

Thus with a deeper understanding of life and a higher vision of the

working of the Cosmic will, one accepts life as it comes, knowing

that there is not much you can do to change outsisde. At the same

time one does not refrain from doing that which is necessary, what

the situation calls for, what one feels that one can do. One

says: " Yes, this is what I can and should do in this situation " and

then leavaes the rest in the hands of God. Be established in a state

of stability, knowing that ultimately all things occur according to

the great Cosmic plan of which we have no knoweldge.
