I beg you that you try to understand this point, and do not misuse it. It is a deep subject. And that is –
There is nothing to do for our own self. "Our own" means "Swayam" (Self, Soul, Spirit, Aatma, Individual Consciousness), which is a part of Paramatama (Supreme Consciousness, God). In other words, consciousness requires nothing to be done for it self. Everything that has to be done is done due to affinity (relationship) with Nature (Prakriti). Apart from relationship with Nature, there remains nothing to be done. Therefore whatever is done, is all done for the body, senses, mind, intellect, the world and Bhagwaan (God); but for our own self, nothing has to be done – this is the Essence!. It is an extraordinary point.
Whatever actions we undertake, those actions have a beginning and an end. We have no relation with that activity which has a beginning and an end; because the Self does not have a beginning or an end. For endless births this jeev (embodied soul) has been passing through, but it has not been born (without a beginning), nor has it died or been destroyed (without an end). This embodied soul is infinite and eternal. For this jeev, there is nothing to be done. What is done is only for the world.
When there is a desire within that I wish to gain something, that thought is the cause of a relation. That which we have met and established a relation with, can never remain with us. I beg you to pay close attention to this point. Desire that we get anything, whether we get wealth, we get respect, we get knowledge, we get a high position, we get eligibility, all these things that we get, cannot remain with us. But Paramatma has been attained by everyone, and ever remains with everyone. Paramatma never separated from us.
His absence is only felt due to not knowing Him. In any Country, any time zone, in any thing, in any individual, in any activity, in any incident, in any situation, in any circumstance, Paramatma not being present is not possible, it can never be possible. Paramatma ever remains at all times and He alone is to be attained. To take the support of that which comes and goes is a nonsensical thing. That body, those sense objects, that inner faculty, etc. are not of any use to us at all. To consider these for our selves is a big mistake. This subject needs to be understood very thoroughly and properly.
