Qn: At Switzerland, I stayed with a remarkable man who claims to have realized. He is unable to separate the seer and the seen.
Ans: He knows what he knows. Soon he may cease talking. Immobility and silence are not inactive. When a thought or emotion or desire comes to your mind, just turn away.
Nothing stops you from being a Gnani now. There is no mind apart from thoughts.
Qn: Do you call it Vairagya - renunciation?
Ans: To give, you must have. To have, you must take. Better don't take. Do not identify yourself with time. Witnessing is natural. Problem is excessive interest leading to self identification.
Qn: If you are beyond the world, you are of no use to the world.
Ans: Pity the self that is, not the world that is not. The division between the outer and inner is less in India. Society is not so oppressive. Just act according to circumstances.
Awareness is dynamic. Love is being. Awareness is love in action. Love precedes creation. Without it, there is only chaos. True action does not displace; it transforms.
A change of place is mere transportation. A change of heart is action.To be free in the world, you must be free of the world. Otherwise, your past decides for you and your future.
Call it destiny or Karma, but never freedom. The longing to break the shell comes from the unmanisfested.
