[QUOTE="sadhu, post: 95187, member: 7918"] [B][SIZE=4]Bhagat singh ji[/SIZE][/B] You dont have to do anything in this state of mind. All doings have to be dropped. The very idea of "doing something" comes from the same old memories, that make you believe that you yourself are the doer. Your doing can only give you a false idea, that you are a doer, that you are so great, that you can make things happen. [B]The very idea of "doing" originates from your ego. And unless you drop your ego, unless you drop this idea that you are the doer, and unless you can just be a rose petal and drop your clingings so that you can just float in the breeze of gurprasad, you will miss the point. [/B] This state of mind is self contradicting, because when you drop all your thoughts and desires, you are actually dropping your whole mind. I called it a "state of mind" so that the people who read my post dont get confused. For example if i straight away say "drop the mind" it will be very confusing to understand. So to just to make some sense i use the word "state of mind", but this actually is the "state of no mind". Its true, but remember[B] the essence of meditation is when you become utterly empty.[/B] The whole purpose of meditation is to create a silence in your being, to create an emptiness in your being. Because the bliss happens in the silence, the music of the eternal happens in your silence, the river of the gurprasad will flow only if you are an empty valley. The selfless service makes others happy, its good. But the main purpose of selfless service is not to make others happy, because then again your ego will step in from the back door, it will say "look i can make others happy". [B]The true purpose of selfless service is to create a "selfless-ness" in your being,[/B] to create a humbleness in your being, to help you to drop the burden of your ego.
