PRIDE



If one sees subservience, then it is seen due to pride. One must not have pride. If someone says to us, "Do this !" Let there be great joy in this! And if we do as we are told, then there remains no responsibility on us. There is no trouble whatsoever for us. The moment someone says, do this! and you do it! Now tell me! Does there appear to be the slightest bit of subservience in this? There is no dependence, subordination in this at all. It is due to pride that is appears as subservience. We will feel great freedom, great independence in this. The moment one says something, the work gets done, that is it! There is no responsibility on us, not in the least bit; not before, not at the present moment, nor later on. Now if someone says - "Why did you do like this?" "You told me, therefore I did it." Due to pride one does not understand this point. There is great joy in this, isn't it ! Now raise any doubts you may have ! Oh Brother! It is a simple, straight-forward point. What is so sophisticated and abstruse in this saying?

Om Namah Shivay.
