So the only way is to give up all the fruits of work, to be unattached to them. Know that this world is not we, nor are we this world ; that we are really not the body; that we really do not work. We are the Self, eternally at rest and at peace. Why should we be bound by anything? We must not weep; there is no weeping for the Soul. We must not even weep for sympathy. Only we like that sort of thing, and, in our imagination, think that God is weeping in that way on His throne. Such a God would not be worth attaining. Why should God weep at all ? To weep is a sign of weakness, of bondage! It is very good to say that we should be perfectly nonattached, but what is the way to do it? Every good work we do without any ulterior motive, instead of forging a new chain, will break one of the links in the existing chains. Every ‘good thought that we send to the world without thinking of any return, will be stored up there and break one link in a chain, and make us purer and purer, until we become the purest of mortals.
