QuestionHow should a householder involve himself in the activities related to Baba while discharging his professional and family duties?AnswerA householder has to take out time for Baba's work whiledischarging all the duties with perfection towards his family. Heshould make his family life simple. The lifestyle should be keptsimple so that it can be handled easily. By organizing the dailyroutine properly try to minimize the time spent on it, so that moreand more time can be gained for Baba's work. The work related tothe profession and duties should be organized in such a manner thatwhile doing every work the mind is completely free of the burden ofother things. This is possible only when one is properly organized.Whatever work you do concentrate on it completely and finish itsincerely and properly. One should use time for every smallest aswell as biggest work with equal

sincerity. Work should be attemptedwith a holistic view because God is Whole. If each and every work in life is done with faith, perfection and completeness then one can experience the closeness with God. Make Him your companion every moment while doing any work mundane or spiritual.Question:I want to know how to manage time and space shared with other family members while remaining faithful to my spiritual duties?Answer :If one is not getting solitude, that means nature or God or Sadguru wants him / her to experience living with others and adjusting with circumstances. We can always find solitude in our hearts, while traveling, before sleeping and immediately after waking up. Think of Baba at all these moments and any free moment you get wherever you are.Question:How do I progress spiritually side-by-side my household duties?AnswerSpiritualism and

materialism always go side by side particularly fora worldly man. One cannot be put aside for the other because bothare created by God. See Baba's play in both these aspects. Bothaspects have to be taken care of by following the path shown byBaba. You have to make it useful by doing the smallest acts and thebiggest acts. Pray to Shri Sai He will surely bless you. Materialismlimits the thinking and actions of a man. On the other handSpiritualism leads to viewing the whole universe as a family - asingle house.
