superficial in matters of foreign affairs, but very particular and
involved in their domestic affairs. In matters related to foreign
countries their sorrow and sympathy is shallow and superficial,
it is not deep rooted. They remain aloof and continue enjoying
their life.
Similarly, there are two separate departments within you :
home and foreign. In the foreign department you have to remain
superficial and in the home department you have to be exact
and precise. Only in matters concerning the Self you have to be
very exact. In the worldly dealings through your mind, speech
and actions, it is better for you to remain aloof as in foreign
interaction.
‘Circumstances around you will change continuously but
you should only involve yourself with the circumstances that are
related to the pure Self. In all the other circumstances you
should remain superficial.’
Circumstances
There are only two things in this world, circumstances
and the Self. If you become one with circumstances, the worldly
life will perpetuate but if you remain just the Knower of the
circumstances, then you are the Self.
The world continuously undergoes changes because it is
evolutionary (samsaran) by nature. Circumstances come together
only to separate again. Circumstances will continue evolving.
The entire world functions through association and
dissociation of circumstances. Who is the doer in this world?
Who makes things happen? There is no one up above or
anywhere else who is the doer. Everything happens solely through
scientific circumstantial evidences.
The way things come together is the way they will appear.
