Disinterested Action---

Papa-----In disinterested action there is the spirit of play and success and failure, praise and blame etc do not affect the person. There is no ego. Action itself is joy since the source of joy is within. There is spontaneity and spontaneity yields joy. Such a one works whole day and never gets tired.  So the first step is to get rid of the ego. 

Papa----Dont think of ego or try to dedicate each action. By constantly remembering God see to it that ego does not enter your actions...Then there is no small or big action, every action is divine. 

Vinobaji---Karma is to do without self-interest. Vikarma is to do it in a whole-souled way. Akarma is being spontaneous in action. 

There will be so many instances when we would have been without self-interest, done jobs whole-souled way, being spontaneous....

Anything that is a product of a thought, has a risk of having some self-interest. We should ensure there is no emotional or intellectual involvement in actions but it should be spontaneous. In “in quest of God”, we see , Papa was spontaneous in each and every situation. 

If we do not interpret what universal service is, we will never understand what it is by reading it from books 100 times...And the interpretation by us must NOT be from the emotional level or intellectual level...

Papa---by merely reading Ramdas’books, you cannot understand him. Only by your own PERFECTED EXPERIENCE you can know . 

Papa---when you are free from ego, your actions are spontaneous....

This is not a super –human performance....Many times we are doing it ....everyday there are so many spontaneous actions going forth from us. ...We must plead to Him to grant that spontaneity for good...It is not reserved only for saints, anybody can have it...

Papa---The world we live in, is a school in which observation and experience offer us immense possibilities for self-improvement. 

Today’s message is SPONTANEITY...IT CANNOT BE CULTIVATED, IT HAS TO COME BY ITSELF..IT IS BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE EGO..

WHEN WE ARE SELFLESS, WE SHOULD NOT EVEN BE AWARE THAT IT IS SELFLESS BECAUSE THEN THE WHOLE THING IS GONE..

Only when there is ego sense, we will be concerned about the result...In the Geeta, we are told, “do work without expectation”...we have not understood it...

SPONTANEITY MEANS, we have an attitude where we feel, “YOU GAVE THE FIELD, YOU GAVE THE INNER PROMPTING, YOU GAVE THE WHEREWITHAL, YOU GAVE ME JOY”....so there is no expectation for the reward.

Janaka---what is the light that impels man to action
Yagnavalkya---it is the sun
Janaka---when sun has set what helps man
Yagnavalkya---it is the moon
Janaka---when sun and moon are not there
Yagnavalkya---it is the fire
Janaka---when there is no sun, moon, fire
Yagnavalkya---it is the speech
Janaka---when there is no sun, moon, fire and no sound
Yaganavalkya—THE SELF IS INDEED IS OUR LIGHT....BY THAT ALONE, WE ACT ....THE SELF IS THE PURE AWARENESS WHICH IS ONE WITH THE SOUL REALITY, THE BRAHMAN. IT IS FREE FROM DESIRE, EVIL AND FEAR. THE ONE WHO IS ESTABLISHED IN THE SELF, SEES WITHOUT SEEING, HEARS WITHOUT HEARING, TOUCHES WITHOUT TOUCHING, SPEAKS WITHOUT SPEAKING, DOES WITHOUT DOING. IT IS A STATE , WHERE THERE IS NO OTHER. 

....                  ....................................                              ......................................................................                                   
This cannot be learned through hearing and reading. We must learn it through our own experience. It becomes clear when we are prompted to keenly observe all that is going on ...
