Context Is More Important Than Action

All the four tattvas should be lived with the right reason, for the right purpose, with a complete reason and a complete purpose.

When you practice for the right reason, the right results come. When you practice the same values with smaller reasons and a smaller context, only the smaller results come. Only with the smaller context, only the smaller results come.

More than the actions you do, it is the space from which the actions are done, and the context and reason with which the actions are done, that matter. If you do not have a right context, even when you worship a deity or God, it is useless. Even while you pray, if you strengthen the space that you are poor, you are weak, then that idea gets strengthened more and more, and even your prayer can weaken you.

Sometimes people come and ask me, 'Swamiji, why do good people suffer?'

Listen: you may be good to others out of your weakness. By being good to others out of your weakness, and constantly

strengthening the identity of weakness, you are attracting

suffering, you are asking the world to give you suffering.

Death is the punishment Kalabhairava gives to those who create the space of weakness in themselves. Eternal life is the Kalabhairava's reward for the people who create a powerful space in themselves. Death is the punishment for the deep powerlessness you carry in you continuously. Jeevanmukti, eternal life, is the reward for the powerful space you create in you. So, finish this work. Complete this job. You have to do this someday, anyway. Any one day you have to do it. Better do it now, or you may have to come back again and again, to do this. With the right context, even if you worship a stone, it will become God for you. With the wrong context, even if you worship a living God, an incarnation, you will only be strengthening the space of your weakness.

I have seen people saying, in the name of prayer, 'Oh, I am weak… I am useless… this is the way I am, please save me.' Again and again, when you remember and strengthen that idea you are weak, powerless, what is going to happen? You are doing some serious damage to you. It is the space and context and reason which matter more than the actions you do.
