In this Satsang, Swamiji replies to questions about how spirituality makes life wholesome and fulfilling for every spiritual seeker. In the modern fast-paced world, one has many familial, social, and professional obligations. Mind is afflicted by various challenges which lead to stress. Amidst this hectic pace, how to practice and apply spirituality? How to make the stressed and constricted mind expansive and calm?

Desires do not allow a person to function properly. Such a mind is gripped by greed, likes & dislikes, hatred etc. But, a desireless mind is able to function naturally, just as the sun shines, flowers blossom, plants grow and the earth moves. So, any one in any field of activity must have the aspiration to be natural. It is only the question of changing one’s mindset, becoming free of Raga-Dvesha, likes & dislikes, attachments (Sanga) etc. When the mindset is changed, one becomes natural and free.

A spiritual practitioner may be a householder and may have emotional and social obligations. If one wants spiritual unfoldment, then one will have to restrict his/her lifestyle. One must do only those things which elevate, inspire, and empower the mind. But this lifestyle choice must be explained to friends and family with love and affection.

How must a wise man perform all actions? In reply, Swamiji says that a spiritually integrated man sees action in inaction and inaction in action. He understands that the ‘I’ (his own real identity) is bereft of all action (is an Akarta). This knowledge of the non-acting Self, makes one a non-performer. He may be active, but he knows that, in reality, he is a non-doer (being established in the Soul). Similarly, even when the body is inactive, a wise person knows that the mind, intelligence and organs will be active.
