Ms. Mohini asked: Thank you so much swāmi for saving me in this pandemic situation and small disturbances in my life. Without your grace I'm zero swāmi.
1. If family members (mother and father) health was not good that time we are not talking care about them and going to some important Divine meeting or work. Is it correct or not swāmi?
Swāmi Replied:- Your devotion to God helps your parents because God is omnipotent and you are with least potency. This can be done only by the devotees present in climax position of devotion. Normal people at the normal level of devotion take care of both God and family and in their case only normal help from God is received.
2. Is spiritual knowledge is useful to reduce laziness? If yes then how it helpful to overcome laziness. At your divine lotus feet🙏🙏🙏 Mohini
Swāmi Replied:- Spiritual knowledge clearly speaks that you should concentrate on the work without any trace of laziness (Karmaṇyevādhikāraste…- Gītā). It also says that you shall not put your attention on the fruit of the work (Mā phaleṣu kadācana… - Gītā). If you are putting concentration on the fruit, some of your energy is spent in such concentration and that much part of energy is wasted because concentration on fruit does not help you in any way in achieving the fruit. If all your concentration is on the work, all your energy is concentrated in your effort in the work by which success in work is inevitable. Several times, I explained this with the help of first law of thermodynamics.
