“Nothing will come with you. We have to leave all this and go one fine day. hence just do the the minimum for living and thus be contented. All great men and women too have advised us to contain ourselves and lead a simple life.
The Great Saint said,
"I need not work!"
Another Saint said,
"Work for work sake and when you find time stop working and meditate!"
Seen thus, there is no ultimate use of all these doings and we will be caught more and more in bondage as we do more and more. Continue doing a decent job with certain earnings and take care of yourself and your family and just be doing these and be at peace!”
Thus, he used to support his attitude..
An elderly well-wisher happened to be a man of wisdom listened to this talk for a while and at length decided to correct the man gently and firmly bring him back to the vigorous action front. Accordingly, on a holiday, he met him and after a few specific enquiries said,
“Dear! I am seeing you for the past sometime being complacent in your required actions. Are you doing all this in the right way?”
The man instantly replied with all confidence,
“Sir! What I tell is truth and I am sure I don’t want anything here more than this. I’ ll just help out my dependents to become capable and if they want they would find their own ways of making their riches and getting into comforts. There is no need for me as well it is no duty with me to help them beyond!”
The elderly smiled and replied,
“See, my dear! It is not the issue that some one wants from you or you yourself don't want many things.You have certain capabilities with you in the form of good health, strength, education and contemporary knowledge of living. Further you live among the similar type of people in your society who are all doing many activities to the best of their abilities!”
The elderly paused and continued,
“Till you know the true reason which prompts you from refraining doing all these specified actions, the right way in front of you is start doing these very actions whether the wealth, name and fame come with you or not. You are no one here to judge yourself and stop these actions..
When you stop all these actions and reason out thus, I can only say that you are not talking out of any great wisdom in you except that either your own lethargy or fear of venturing is making you to talk like this!”
"???????"
“Yes, dear! The Great Men and Women have talked as you say only when they had really seen the Truth in life and thus were truly free from the burden of bondage. Even then, all Great Personalities too continued their activities with them as long as they were part of the society and they kept off only when their Knowledge was more useful to the world in another direction..
But for people like us, the actions in front alone are the real saviors of life and God is forever watching us how devotedly we do these actions and how honestly we do. Rest is His Grace on us and we don’t know when that descends on each individual but never on the man of sluggish actions!”
