A Devotee:- Doing the spiritual service with gaps for freshness in the spiritual service
Can be only an intermediate state in the spiritual journey for any body?
The continuous spiritual service with gaps is the final spiritual state
I shall do my job and the mission together since I am not in final state
Therefore you advised me, perhaps, to follow the intermediate state
Of course, now it self I aspired to enter the final state, am I right?

A Devotee: Swami! Is there no program for your devotees to propagate this
Divine Knowledge on full time basis? I am ready for such service.

Swami:-The service whether full time or part time does not depend on the time
It depends on the quantum and quality of the work you have turned out
In one hour one may do very high qualitative work with fresh mind
In ten hours, bored with continuity, another person may not turn out
The same quantum of work with the same quality, therefore vigour is needed
The vigour is always proportional to the energy and freshness of mind
For the human beings, having this gross body following the rules of nature
It is not possible to continuously work in the same line for a long time.
The mind is subtle body which is inter related with the gross body
The mind has the nature of vexation to do the same work continuously
The mind requires gaps and these gaps may be periods of deep sleep
Or may be periods of diversified work, since the sleep is over in the night
These gaps should be only diversified work and not of deep sleep
If you sleep in the daytime, you will not have sound sleep in the night
The scriptures of justice or Dharmasastra say that one should not sleep
In the daytime for the same reason, any human body requires only
A fixed quantum of sleep, therefore the nature requires diversified work.
The diversified work should be worldly work only in the case of spiritual work
Spiritual knowledge and worldly knowledge are quite opposite to each other.
Veda says the same "Duramete viparete " both are south and north
Science is the best-diversified knowledge since it never touches God.
I t searches the world intensively not with the aim to find out God
All its search and research are only for the benefit of the humanity
The ancient logic is also science in the nature of the subject, but
The ancient logic searched the world to find out the God through creation
Both the science and ancient logic fail in the end since they could not find
God through the creation, the reason for this is that the creator maintains
This creation by His will only and is not touching the creation,
Therefore changes in the creation cannot touch the creator and change Him.
The creation is like the dream of a day dreamer who does not sleep so that
He has full control on the dream, even if his dream city is burning
He does not burn because he is not touched by that dream. He maintains
The dream just by his will, in fact the dream is only his will.
This is the reason why the investigators of creation can never touch the creator
However much they may go deeply in the vertical direction, it is futile.
Therefore research in science is the best gap for a spiritual work
But you should involve in the scientific research work deeply in the gap.
Your deep involvement will be a good diversification from your field.

Any work can be decided only by its aim and its fruit at the end.
Since your aim of your gap is only freshness for the main work.
Your work in the gap becomes a part of your main work only.
The fruit of your work in the gap is to build up your professional talent
Your carrier will bring lot of wealth to you and you should sacrifice this
For the sake of the Lord only and not to any un-divine element, which is
Your family only because all your wealth goes to them only
They are most un-deserving since they drag you from the Lord.
They are your enemies, who have come to collect their loans from you
And revenge upon you for the past and hence they are most undeserving
But if they are devotees of Lord, they deserve your wealth
But you should give your wealth to them treating them as devotees
And not as your family members, you angle is very delicate
You may cover your blind love on your family with the mask of devotion
You may donate wealth to them due to your internally hidden blind love
And say that you love them as devotees only, this can be tested
When non-related devotees come to your house, how do you treat them?
If your treatment is different, then you are misleading yourself only
Therefore, every owner of the family should start the propagation of
Divine knowledge in his house itself so that the whole world is transformed
If your family members resists the devotion due to their ignorance and egoism
You should preach them in all angles to save them from the permanent hell.
If you do this, your love on your family becomes real, the real love aims at
The welfare of other being and not the pleasure of self or the other side pleasure
Pleasure on both sides is temporary and therefore unreal.

Since, your wife Devi is a real devotee, she deserves your wealth
Her association cannot be association with family if analysed deeply
The first address of the Lord is Human Incarnation and the second address
Is the Devotee, if you please the devotee, the Lord is more pleased.
Therefore, the fruit of your gap-work goes to a real devotee and not family
By this the God is more pleased and hence the gap work is also divine
Since it is divine by aim and also by the fruit, if your family becomes devoted
Why should you leave your family to go elsewhere in the search of devotees?
You should leave the family and be in association of devotees only
Because association is a root cause of entire path of any human being
The family with blind love and without any divine love is your enemy
But if the entire family consists of best devotees, you need not leave the home
When you preach the divine knowledge, the outside devotees may not hear you
But when you teach the same to your family members, at least they hear you.
Without realising this, people are leaving their families and are walking out
They want to change the whole world except their family members!
If you cannot change even your family, how can you change the world?
But if your family consists of demons who neither change nor allow you
To follow your own spiritual path, then you should think of leaving them.
God is far grater than these bloody family members whose love is unreal.
They love you only for their selfish happiness and if they are troubled by you
They abandon you and go out, therefore this blind love is not justified.
All their mistakes can be washed out if they become devotees,
Even if they are your enemies who have come to collect their loans
They deserve and their defects are washed out by sacred devotion.

Sankara was debating with scholars but between two debates, he gave gaps
During the gap periods, he used to walk from one place to another place
For the next debate, this walking is a good gap for next fresh debate.
When Hanuman came from Lanka, He went to the garden "Madhuvanam"
He did lot of mischief along with other monkeys in that garden, that was
A good gap for Him before seeing Rama to narrate the whole episode
Some eat to live and some others live to eat, there is difference between the two
In the first case, they eat limited food, which is converted into life energy
Therefore, they live long since their aim was to live and not simply to eat.
According to the aim, the working of eating was done and fruit was also so
Some others live to eat only and their aim is eating only and not to live
Therefore, they eat more food and they are eaten by the food and die
The excess food brings diseases, and thus kills the eater, since their aim
Was to eat only and not to live and therefore they did not live by the eating
Veda says that the food or Annam is that which is eaten or that which eats.
"Adyate atticha " which means that Annam is eaten and also eats.
Similarly, one may do scientific research work to build up his carrier and
Earn lot of wealth for the sake of his family members whom he loves blindly
Such scientific research is not a gap work and he is having impure aim
His hard earned fruit was stolen by his enemies and he was thrown to hell
Since they attracted him with blind love and obstructed spiritual path.
The mother of Sankara was loving her son too much because her son
Sankara was very beautiful and also very brilliant with divine radiation
Her love on Him was only as her son and not as Lord Siva
Therefore, Sankara left her so that her mind will be fixed on Lord Siva
Ramanujacharya and Raghavendra left their wives since they were also
Loving their husbands with blind view of lust and not divine love.
Once a devotee was obstructed by his newly wedded wife from
Attending the discourse of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
The devotee explained his problem and Sri Paramahamsa told
"What is there? Just leave your wife and diverse her for the sake of lord"
The devotee was shocked by this advice since he was not so ripened
Buddha left the family and kingdom which was un-divine for Him
Therefore, one should leave the house and family members if they are
Un-divine and do not become devotees even on your hectic efforts.
The mother of Jesus came to see him when He was with his disciples.
He did not care for his mother because the devotees are higher to Him.
Therefore, turn their blind love into divine love by preaching them
Let them realise that they are also saved by the divine love only
Let them realise that their permanent welfare exists in the devotion only.
Let them understand you that you are preaching all this to them
Not to reject them but since you are really interested in their real welfare.

Service is the real proof of the real love, there is no doubt in this
For doing service, one cannot be mad and he should be quite alert
He should be very sharp in intelligence like Hanuman always
Therefore, the continuous service as said above is also madness
Excess of devotion is called madness and Radha was like that
But madness comes spontaneously and not by any effort
Therefore, in the path of spiritual effort, madness has no place
Mad people do not require gaps and live continuously in their world
But they are useless for service of the Lord, but the Lord is pleased
With such mad devotees because their madness was for Him only
Both Hanuman and Radha are equal and are two eyes of the Lord.
By your spiritual effort, you can become Hanuman but not Radha.
You can become Radha suddenly and spontaneously without effort?
In that case also, you are appreciated by the Lord, no doubt in it
But what is the use of discussing it when it is out of your effort.
