In fact it is this silent Jnani who does more substantial work than the p'atform lecturers. Psychologists and occultists can very well understand the truth of this statement. Workers in the political and social fields, whose minds are saturated with Karmic Samskaras and tendencies cannot comprehend the veracity of this statement. Sri Aurobindo, who was once a great Karma Yogin, has shut himself up in a room for the last twenty-two years. He has become now a glorious Yogi. He does help the world more now with his supra-mental vibrations and divine experiences. He trains aspirants in the Ashram Some of the aspirants who are developed will take up his work and disseminate divine knowledge.
Constantly perform action which is duty for the sake of Ishwara without attachment. You will attain Moksha through attaining Chitta Suddhi or purity of mind. Purify the inner motive which directs your activity Remove selfishness. Then you will be able to work for the well-being of the world (Lokasangraha). The wise should set an example to the masses. They should work for the uplift of the world. Janaka and others verily aimed at Moksha by doing selfless and disinterested works Man is a creature of imitation He tries to follow the example of his superiors Whatsoever a great man does, that other men also do.
