how can one be joyful and useful after
one has experienced deaths of several
close family members including immediate
family members there is no need to be
joyful why it is not is not certainly an
occasion to be joyful but yes you can be
supportive you see i i won't even use
the word useful
supportive support the situation because
you are a seeker you are the mature when
the other people are childish you know
somebody's crying somebody is running
somebody is depressed you have your
awareness on you have the lights on
others are in darkness so
it is your duty to be supportive support
the situation you see don't try to be
joyful what is the use of being joyful
in this situation
your being is always in bliss now how
can i be joyful no that which is in
bliss will remain in bliss you are the
bliss so then you need to channel this
bliss into appropriate behavior and your
appropriate behavior is not crying
shouting talking like a maniac don't be
the part of the problem be the part of
the solution you can do that because you
have the awareness on
if you want take the help of other
seekers take the help of your guru i
mean what is the use of guru if you have
a guru and the guru is not supporting
you in difficult times then useless guru
take the help of guru and your seeker
friends and anybody who is mature and
sensible because probably it is too much
for you it's overwhelming so i won't
recommend that
you spend your energy in becoming joyful
in these conditions no you need to do
that which is needed do the necessary
and you will get a lot of time
to be joyful was the dust of the death
settles you see then the others will
feel vacant and you will feel joyful
because
nothing was really lost you will see it
it is a matter of time all the family
members they are going to die anyway so
just happen today instead of tomorrow
that's all and we are in the line
don't forget that so do the necessary do
the needful let's all okay hopefully my
my answer was not too bitter
poonam is asking can path of knowledge
be the chosen path during such an
extreme situation considering that such
an extreme situation almost like being
in an icu path of knowledge no path of
knowledge is very intellectual very dry
and this
kind of activity you know whatever we do
on the path of knowledge is reserved for
peaceful times i'm not even saying
joyful times or happy times you need to
have party you need to celebrate in
those times no path of knowledge enjoy
these things are best handled i mean
best done during peaceful times when
you're curious and when you're getting
this opportunity to think for long times
you are you're alone you are in solitude
you live alone in the jungle there is
nothing to do no no m field
no i am filled that is why you see
great masters they live far away
the higher you are
the less is the effect of enfield now
you know
now you know why they climb up the
mountains
anyhow
so in these situations extreme
situations which path is the best part
i would say the power of surrender you
see the devotional paths where you you
already know that i have no control over
anything then the best thing to do is
surrender is do that which you can
control but
the risk
should be spent in the rest of the time
should be spending surrender that
whatever happens
is okay is good everything is illusion
and you i am not the person
and this is the existence nondual these
things are useless this kind of
knowledge is useless in the extreme
situations so you see why do we
prescribe different paths to different
people because their life situations are
different
somebody's struggling in the let us say
for finances or money or
in marriage and so on so they are
immediately given
more physical path like they will be
told to do the yoga sanas and all those
things breathing exercise and all and
their
deity will be chosen as lakshmi goddess
lakshmi or something like this not
saraswati
the guru will be a blend of all the
paths all the time although they'd never
tell it but in one guru there are all
gurus so all in one always but they
never tell it
they always advertise as if they belong
to only one path it is all lies you see
guru lies all the time so something like
this is prescribed for the student or
they are saying to other guru okay go to
that guru you say do whatever you want
to do there this path of knowledge is
right now not suitable for you even i do
that you must have seen that
i kick people out of satsang sometimes
waste of time
so extreme situation demands extreme
measures there you don't have the peace
of mind to think about all the
philosophy and part of knowledge and all
yes
let me tell you one thing to poonam that
if you were on the path of knowledge
before the extreme situation happened
then you will be supported by the
awareness
but my answer assumes that the student
has never cultivated any awareness
and he is facing extreme situation now
and there the path of knowledge is
useless so if you have
pre-cultivation if you have gone through
the path of knowledge you have the
essential knowledge now and you have
practiced it that means you have put it
into practice your awareness is on then
probably that will be helpful but those
who are learning those who are simply
fighting with the concepts of
non-duality and so on you know filled
with doubts it is not going to work in
extreme situations people start
expecting
miracles from the guru from the path and
all and that is difficult that is
difficult
the guru field will say okay okay
let's wait for some time you see because
you see the higher the guru the less he
will do something for you
now you must be surprised by this thing
also you see today's surprise day and
the bigger the guru is the least active
he will be because why he knows
everything is fine as it is sir i'm not
progressing since 12 years okay okay
let's wait for 12 more years the biggest
guru will say like this and the smaller
gurus they will be panicked 12 years you
are not progressing let's do something
and they will do everything possible in
the illusion to make that progress
happen and that is
you see childish now those higher gurus
are laughing look what these people are
doing what kind of drama they are doing
so you see in the extreme situation you
do do not need the extreme guru you need
somebody who can hold your hand there
and
you can depend on that person and so on
you see the guru will support you with
money with
emotional support with love and your
workload will be taken by guru and other
seekers you see and that much can be
done so forget about the power of
knowledge and
the maha gurus they don't do anything
so desperate situation demands
desperate measures
