How to be spiritual with worldly responsibilities
Following is an excerpt from a samvaad (dialogue) session with Acharya Prashant.
Questioner: Sir, during the process of spiritual sadhana, we have some responsibilities related to both finances as well as physical availability. How to tackle this?
Acharya Prashant: Who are you?
Q: Incomplete consciousness.
AP: So what is your responsibility?
Q: To get completion.
AP: Full stop.
Q: So, what to do of the responsibilities?
AP: What is your responsibility?
Q: To get completion.
AP: Full stop.
Never forget who you are. If you will forget who you are, you will take up false responsibilities.
Are you getting it?
Q: Isn’t the other’s completeness, also our responsibility?
AP: How do you know about the other’s completion, when you have not fulfilled your basic responsibility towards yourself? Is it not great arrogance and story-telling?
When you do not know what is your responsibility, and what will bring fulfillment to you, what do you know about others and others’ fulfillment?
