Question 11:

WHY IS THE WORLD IN THIS SITUATION TODAY THAT WE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT’S HAPPENING AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO?

“Why is the world in this situation today?” is not my job and your job. The whole world is not left to you. You’re not here to change the world. At least, I can change myself. You can change yourself. So we have to change ourselves at the individual level, at the community level, then there’ll be change in the world by and large. Order, system, discipline at the individual level will have to go to the community: ‘I” to “we”, and thus we can change the community.
Let me understand what is the situation with me instead of understanding what is the situation in the world. The situation with me is not that good as I’d like to be. For instance, there’s no unity of thought, word and action in our individual lives. And human values are not practiced at the individual level. Then I still complain, “What is the situation in the world?” Well, what is the situation right now with me?
So transformation at an individual level would lead to a reformation by and large at a later stage. So let us examine ourselves -- self examination, self audit, self evaluation – elevate ourselves. Well, that will eventually contribute to world peace and world welfare. Thank you.

Question: 12

WHY ARE WE SO NAÏVE, NOT SEEING THE REALITY OF THE WORLD TODAY, WHICH IS THAT IT IS MOVING AWAY FROM GOD?

Once you understand this being naïve is taking me away from God, let me be free from that so I can be close to Him. Let us identify what takes me away from God – the anger, the lust, possessiveness, attachment, greed, being naïve. These are the qualities that take me away from God.

Once I have this diagnosis, pathological investigation, of all the qualities that take me away from God, then let me try to remove them. Let me try to get away from them step-by-step, one-by-one. Swami has given an example: if you are holding a rope and trying to play with it, suddenly you’ll notice that it is not a rope…it is a serpent! What do you do with it? You drop it immediately! Therefore these qualities we are playing with them as we are playing with a rope. No! It is a serpent! When once you know it is a serpent, you’ll drop it immediately. When we drop, we’ll be close to God as before. Thank you.

Question: 13

WHY IS GOD NOT HELPING US TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF THIS WORLD?

Lord works at the individual level with every person. It is not an industry. It is not a factory. It is not a revolution. No. It is a transformation. So Swami works at the individual level. He goes on operating with everybody because He is in you. God is both personal and non-personal. God is both individual and collective. So let Him work. Allow ourselves to be positively disposed. Allow ourselves to be transformed at any moment as He wills, as He decides. So let us know that God is bringing a change in me.

For example, having come to Puttaparthi, having been exposed to Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, have you not noticed a change in you? Have you not noticed a transformation within you? That is happening! Therefore the feeling of godliness, the feeling of divinity within us will transform the whole world. There’s no doubt about it. But it begins with me first, then the world next. To think of the world –“world is chaotic” – that’s a political approach. Political people, people in politics say they will change the whole world. You cannot change the world without changing yourself. So let us not be political, let’s be spiritual by transforming ourselves. Thank you.
