has some taste of God's looking after us individually will appreciate that we are being protected once we are taken up by God. Now, every physical, economic, social element of institutions are there. The first thing that goes away from us is fear, fear of our neighbour, fear of future, fear of the past, all these go away, if individually we can get that experience. If a nation can undertake it as a whole, I don't know whether it can do it, I think we do not want any securities even at this step. When we get to that state or will-force, that will again set at nought anything. That is the supreme promise of our particular system. So, realisation would be there when we have no fear, when we are detached from everything except the Ultimate, when our continuous living in God, for God, by God, which is a Reality is established. Then we find that all the securities that we have built into our body out of us or society are more instruments for little things, but for all practical purposes necessary. I may also say we will have yet to do our duty in this world, as Sri Krishna says: do your work without attachment to the fruits thereof. This is a great discovery which our Master has made and as an instrument of practical work, he has undertaken this Pranahuthi which anybody or rather everybody can adopt and find for himself whether he realizes true renunciation and true attachment to God. The true renunciation is a renunciation of attachment to the things we have built up in the past, to which we are now clinging either on the principle of family or an institution or colour or caste so on and so forth. All these institutions are transitory. They are not permanent. What is permanent is our relation with God, and what is also most dynamic is, we can create and recreate, destroy and rebuild our work according to the will of God, which means, then, our creations will be true, and may be helpful and beneficent to all. Today, we are not doing that way. We are attached to our fruits whether we call it personal or social it does not matter. In either case, there is attachment, and again we have got all kinds of squabbles. These have no right to arise. In the words of Sri Krishna: "Firstly become of mind, take My mind, the Divine Mind in you" "Macchitta Sarva Durgani" The Divine Mind will be able to cross over every fortress or every barricade that we have erected for ourselves and become a Free Mind. Not a mind that thinks it is free while it is imprisoned in its own fortress.
