Q&A with Swamiji .....235...I Vs Thou

[Guest guest]

Question from Latha:

Is the attitude "God is doing everything" only true for people

that have completely surrendered ? For people that are not

completely surrendered (ME!!!) and people who cannot or unable

to adopt that attitude , is it better to take on the attitude

of - I will set my house in order, I will prepare so that my

life can revolve around sadhana. I will organize my life so

that I can have the privilege to worship?

 

Swamiji's response:

That is my belief. It is very easy to speak "God is doing

everything", but to live that way is a totally different story. Look

at their actions and you can tell the talkers from the doers.

on the other hand, god IS doing everything, no matter who we are, or

what our understanding is. sometimes we know it intellectually,

sometimes we feel it, sometimes we see it like the sun in the sky. it

is a great attitude, but like all attitudes, subject to change and

distortion. jai guru principle. the passion of you quest will protect

you from mistakes for too long.
