So therefore Swami says: “We shouldn’t worry too much about the mind; but we should practice and practice being detached.” It is impossible to understand and realize the Divine without detachment. And detachment comes about through thinking these things through.
See, Swami says that human beings have special powers given by God. One of the special powers given to a human person by God is the ability to think things through – reason things through. That’s a God given trait to a human being. We have the ability – every person here – to sit down quietly and think these problems through and see the Truth.
Swami with Mr and Mrs Hislop :
Now if we see the Truth, Swami says: “None of this sadhana is necessary.” You can forget the whole thing – forget bhajans; forget seva; forget prayers; forget meditation - forget the whole business - because all that is simply in gaining the Truth; seeing the Truth! So we can think things through.
Then we have the strength and the will-power to put them into practice in our daily lives. That will-power is Divine Will-Power – we all have it! We call upon the will-power of the Divine to change our life according to our deep understanding of the situation as it is. We stop allowing our life to be managed by our senses or even by the wanderings of the minds. But the intelligence is in charge of the mind; in charge of the senses and will operate if you call on your own will-power – call on your God.
And as far as our daily world is concerned; our actions in our daily world – What should we do? What shouldn’t we do? We can always get the answers by acting consciously. Swami tells us again and again that God resides in me; He is the only real thing there is – everything else about me is our imagination. But He resides in me as consciousness and therefore as we ask our consciousness, we ask God directly and our consciousness will give us a correct answer. Thank you very much for your time.
