Translation of Shri Mahayogi’s words during a satsangha in New York
July 10, 2010
Q: It seems that, no matter what we say we believe, what words we want to value—such as bliss, happiness or Enlightenment—in the end, we are just dead. All the things we think we believe are simply gone, and nobody is going to remember them two or three generations later. Why should faith make any difference when at the end of all of it, we are just dead?
Master: Indeed, everything becomes nothing by death. (Intensely) However, if you cannot see the Truth in it, then it simply becomes nihilism. The body, no matter whose it is, goes back to the soil again. The work that the mind has done, no matter how great this worldly work may be, will be forgotten after three generations. That is exactly so. (Intensely) However, we are not living for others to remember us! It is more important to realize one’s own True Self than anything else. Whether the future generations know about it or not does not matter! At least, while you are living with flesh, you can be free of suffering. And you can serve divine existence, which is called others. That is sufficient. Or do you want to have other reasons?
Q: I only can…it’s just that I cannot see that even if you do serve others, that in the end it’s going to make any difference.
Master: Serving others has nothing to do with self-pride or recording [your actions] at all.
Q: I mean to them.
Master: The realization of Truth or God is there.
