reminiscences

                                 “Simply Be and Stay Put as Mine”

Someone asked, 'Maharaj, you had to labour much for gaining self-knowledge. When one realizes this, one feels that self-knowledge is beyond reach of us, common per­sons, and the heart despairs and flags.' On listening to this ShriMaharaj said, "Who says that God can be at­tained only by labouring, and not without it ? Someone may be poor in his early years. He becomes rich after labouring a great deal. Later his son inherits that wealth without any effort. Likewise, why should he who says he is mine be despondent ? You should simply be and stay put as mine, and sincerely observe the practice of Namasmarana, and then God will be attained automati­cally without much effort."
