What am I to do?

Be like a log of wood in the stream of


His Will. Love life, love work, love duty.
Be of good cheer. Only remember God
and do whatever you do in the name of
Him. That is enough. One who can fully relish
and utilize the present, without worrying about
present, past and future, he or she really
enjoys the state of Vraja, His supreme Love.
The essential thing about life is to see it and
enjoy it as Leela (God's Play). Follow your
desires. Do not force them into a special
pattern. Eat, drink, do everything, but
remember God, Who is inside the body. To
move according to nature is the only safe
course. Do not go beyond the limitations of the
body. If you do not respect it, will it not
retaliate? Go about doing everything while
remembering Him, that is all that is needed.
What then are we to do? We have to brave the
world, bear Prarabdha (unavoidable evolutionary
process of one's life) with fortitude, and do
our respective activities without any sense of
ego.
Carry on, do your duty. Duty is the first thing.
Submit to Mahanam (God's Name within) in love
and brave the world. Have patience with the
vicissitudes of life which are tokens of His
infinite Love. Don't restrain, don't indulge. Be
natural, shorn of all inhibitions.

Bear destiny or fate with patience. No


restraint, no effort is necessary for Him.
Relish His Love and taste the world of nature,
with passive remembrance of Mahanam.
By doing our duties which come from His Will
we relish His Love and Bliss. You do and enjoy
everything as you like but remember Him. You
will see nothing will effect you. Try to act your
role in the drama on this stage of the world
perfectly.
Evaporation of ego, loving submission to
Mahanam and braving the world of reality as
His bounteous expression is your duty. The
duty of all human beings is to carry out all
activities of life with Him in view. Remember
Him. That is enough, more than enough.
World cannot be discarded to become
spiritualist. We have to come to the world to
do our destined works, Karmas, not to get
Him....as He is already within. We have to do
the work for which we are destined.
A vast field of activities is before you. Enjoy
them with Him. Everything has jiva (life force).
You can take meat, fish, vegetables whatever
you like. All are the same. Fasting is not good.
Don't go against your nature. Let your senses
and mind do any manner of antics. Let your
inner drives lead your senses wherever they
will. Be a passive spectator of the drama.
You have nothing else to do except call to mind
that Mahanam (God's Name within). Do nothing
but practice remembering and adhering to
Name. Repeat the Name. Keep thinking about
Him and the rest will be taken care of. Think of
God. Keep on remembering Mahanam, the seed
that has been sown in your heart. It is a
wonderful key that makes every door open of
its own accord.
Do not shun the needs of the body. With birth
we invited and came with certain desires, lusts,
passions and greed. We cannot exist a moment
without their help. The senses have an
essential role. You shall have to give something
to them. If you stop everything, they will
revolt. When the senses are pleased they will
accompany you. Your senses will turn inward in
time and will become the internal ladder to help
you climb to the plane of Divine Consciousness.
Live, but live in tune with Him. Live beyond the
realm of mind. Don't live in wants, fears, hopes.
Live in swabhava (natural state of being in tune
with God), in your real Self, which is the only
Truth. Be of good cheer and enjoy! If you fail
to enjoy yourself here how dare you expect it
after death.
Nobody knows how destiny works until the end
of life. Try to live every day of your life in such
a way that in the end you have the consolation
that you have successfully utilized all the days
and years with the gifts of body, mind and
Prana (life breath) bestowed by God on you.
Do your duty (remember God), do your work,
and enjoy your days. Whiskey, cigarettes,
love...as you like. Then you will feel within you
what no one can sell you, the living God, the
true God, Who has created you and loves you.
