“Values of life are based on the goals which that life strives after in a society to make its life pleasant. That is precisely the reason why people who seek such a goal in life are generally considered to be a useless and certain times even mad. <br/> But when a person has transcended the realm of values we find him giving us a new meaning of life itself. He lives entirely for the sake of others and there appears to be nothing which he would personally like to have in order to be happy. That is because he is in a condition which does not differentiate between happiness and unpleasantness (not that he is a stone) between misery and pleasure, so far as he is concerned. While all others try to see a meaning for their individual lives only, he gets a peep into the meaning of Life itself. Such a participation consciously in the working of Nature which is striving to perfect the forms of life that have so far evolved to the condition in which they exist is the only duty that a person who attained such a state has. It is a condition where he works one with the principle of Life itself which we may call Nature. Because of his identification with Nature which is perfect due to annihilation of his personal identity he may be said to be Nature itself, and Nature therefore behaves according to his wishes which come from Nothingness.”

“Looking at the concept with the organic way of approach you will see there is a great organism. And there are several limbs, several cells, several parts of that organism. Every one shall work in tune with the remaining. Then it's a balanced existence. One limb working contrary to other will not lead us anywhere except conflict. And this body of which you and I are part of, has to work in consonance with the DivineWill for Divine purposes. It is God who uses us. For his purposes as he deems fit. If you are given the role of a person who has to be a attendant, by all means happily enjoy that. That is enough. There is no need to compare yourself with somebody else because a attendant is as much important in the office as an officer in charge of the office. Neither he nor the other is dispensable. Both of them are required. Each one of us has been blessed by the Divine, with certain endowments and it shall be used of his sake. Whatever we do shall be for the good of others which naturally includes your good. Whatever you want to do if it is only good for you it may not be likely to be good for others. The reverse proposition however is not correct. When you try to do something which is good for all, naturally your good is included in that. So the jivatma has to besomehow or the other be transcended. And we should atleast enter into the realms of the Mahatma, start thinking about the higher things. So theyielding to the Divine is the first step in that.”
