Silence Speaks
question of doubt does not arise at all. So please give up doubting. When the thought of co-operation springs up in the abhyasi‟s mind he has come up to the first state of surrender. Be bold enough to make up your mind for anything. Step in with a strong will and your success shall be sure. You think your worldly responsibilities to be a hindrance on your path, but that is a grossly mistaken notion.

Vairagya does not in any way mean the neglect of duty, whether in respect of the world or of the Divine.
