VOICE OF SACHCHIDANANDA

 

As long as man has a body he cannot escape from work. However much he may try

to remain inactive or actionless, he cannot do so. His svabhaava or vaasanaas

or the tendencies inherent in him, drive him to the field of action. Works

are such that some yield fruits instantaneously. Some works yield fruits after

some time. There are others which yield fruits after quite a long time. But

there are works which yield results after the expiry of the present life. To

experience those fruits man has to be born again. Again he performs new works,

to

enjoy the fruits of which he will have to take birth again. Thus this cycle of

birth and death - the journey from the womb to the tomb - never stops. If man

is content with this merrry-go-round, well and good.

 

But if man wants to escape from this wheel of birth and death and is earnest

about it, then he should approach a Master who knows the secret and has freed

himself from the bonds.

He will instruct the student appropriately. He will show him the way to

remain actionless even while performing actions. That way is the way of always

chanting the divine names of the Lord while working. Such chanting and

remembrance

of God's Names will divinise every work as a result of which work loses its

binding force, and becomes dedicated work.
