M: My world is just like yours. I see, I hear, I feel, I think, I
speak and act in a world I perceive, just like you. But with you it is
all, with me it is nothing. Knowing the world to be a part of myself, I
pay it no more attention than you pay to the food you have eaten. While
being prepared and eaten, the food is separate from you and your mind is
on it; once swallowed, you become totally unconscious of it. I have
eaten up the world and I need not think of it any more.
Q: Don’t you become completely irresponsible?
M:
How could I? How can I hurt something which is one with me. On the
contrary, without thinking of the world, whatever I do will be of
benefit to it. Just as the body sets itself right unconsciously, so am I
ceaselessly active in setting the world right.
Q: Nevertheless, you are aware of the immense suffering of the world?
M: Of course I am, much more than you are.
Q: Then what do you do?
M: I look at it through the eyes of God and find that all is well.
Q: How can you say that all is well? Look at the wars, the exploitation, the cruel strife between the citizen and the state.
M:
All these sufferings are man-made and it is within man's power to put
an end to them. God helps by facing man with the results of his actions
and demanding that the balance should be restored. Karma is the law that
works for righteousness; it is the healing hand of God.
