Discourses-----Day 34
December 4, 1941
Question : “You have asked us to take up the work of Ideal
even though in family wants, and again you have said, ‘Those who are a failure
in the affairs of the world are blinded in their spiritual eyes too.’ Where is
the synthesis of these two utterances ?”
Sri Sri Thakur : “If you
devote yourself heart and soul for your Ideal, your family as well centers
around it. Though there may be wants and complaints and a struggling period for
a few days, this cannot last long if one can carry out the work of Ideal, or if
one is sufficiently interested in establishing Ideal. Integration and
consolidation gradually set in in the family. Everyone gets active for the
Ideal and for one another. Take for example, how an excess urge flows in every
member of the family overflow with abundance. They all remain eager for the
fulfillment of Ideal’s wishes at every moment. They remain prepared before-hand
for whatever may be his needs. If one is all set for Ideal, the family too
under him gets in tip-top condition. For example, somebody might require tem
rupees for his own family, but if he has to raise five more rupees for his
Ideal, then he has to move with an urge of fifteen rupees. He has to collect
that anyhow because he cannot rest content without feeding or giving to his
Ideal. And for this gift to his Ideal and for his Ideal’s establishment he has
no maintain his own life. The whole income then turns out as though for Ideal.
Ten rupees is within fifteen ; that is why he is never in a state of want. You
are, after all, showered with affluence through this urge for giving to Ideal.”
