Q:

Sometimes worldly problems drive me crazy and I feel like retiring to the forest to do penance…. Please advise me, Baba.

A person who rises beyond the body is a liberated person. When the sun rises, whether or not you want it, darkness gives way to light. You are assigned some responsibilities to fulfill till you leave the world. You cannot escape those. Even enlightened beings cannot stay away from activities. Though I may not have any work to do at a personal level, I have to continue performing in the name of God. This is what Krishna says, ‘I have nothing to gain from any of the worlds. But I am constantly at work.’

If someone gives up his karmas and responsibilities in an attempt to meditate, he is not truly enlightened. You must play an active role in getting some work done. But you must let go of all traces of selfishness, and perform in the name of God, knowing that you are the custodian of God’s property. This is real silence.

Karmas are the reason why you are not able to attain silence. It is a web spun out of your own anxieties and worries. When you have completed your karmas, you will attain blankness of mind. Every second, you will live perfectly and productively. And yet, you will not be living for yourself. All your wants will be more than fulfilled by The Supreme Cosmic Force for which you are working.

(Based on the request of viewers, we have created a new email id where you can address your queries to Baba. Mail your queries to soughtclarifies@samratchana.com Baba replies to all queries during the daily Sathsangh and nilacharal.com will publish the transcribed version of His reply.)

( Baba's replies to other questions continues next week....)
