Try to reach that phase of Sadhana (endeavours) from where you can visualize things situated at a great distance. Attain the auspicious point of view by means of which you can know yourself and all the others. If we achieve that level, we will be in possession of both the plus and minus lenses. If you attain the power of knowing yourself and ali the others, then all your questions will end, because questions arise only out of controversies and out of differences of opinion. Many kinds of problems abound in Samsar. The Samsar continues as long as you have problems. As long as you are existing in Samsar, you will have intellectual curiosity to know things. When your curiosity is satisfied. there will be no more questions; there will be no one to ask questions; there will be no desire or thirst for any more knowledge. You must reach that level. You must carry out endeavours to reach that level You carry out endeavours to find answers to your questions and you will attain satis faction and perfection.
WHAT IS THE NECESSITY OF DHARMA ?
This question is of a lower level. A deeper question arising from a more fundamental curiosity is, "What is the necessity of Dharma ?" You know that all things in Samsar derive power from it. No object can attain movement without power If the clock should keep moving we have to wind it or make it work by some other energy. If you have a car, you will have to provide petrol to it from which it gets energy to move.
