"Questioner: It seems to be an addiction of The Consciousness, to worry about things around.

Maharaj: Yes, 'addiction', and 'entertainment'.

Suppose I spill water. Immediately, I take the towel and wipe it up, but I do not feel that I have done something foolish.

... It has happened!

Just as the towel is soaking up the water,

... Without thinking that it is doing so.

Q: What a strange love for this 'I Amness'.

M: Although it is strange, it gets manifested in concrete forms.

We hang on to concepts about saving the world - doing good.

With all the great concepts and ideas, great people have had, where are the saved, and the saviors today ?

Q : I would like everything to be in harmony - non-chaotic.

M : Don't hang on to 'Name And Forms'.

... Get rid of 'Name And Forms'!

Q : Why it is so difficult to understand that simple thing ?

M : Because whatever you have understood,

... You are clinging to - 'embracing'.

Get rid of that !

Whatever you have understood from this world,

... You are hanging onto.

Give it up !

The way that you understand yourself;

... Give that up also! "
