Sri Amma Bhagavan Speaks , Bhagavan, everyone seems to be alright with the feeling of love, affection, oneness and seva in this sacred surrounding. But when one goes to the material and busy world, would we not get lost in conflict and turmoil once again? Please Bhagavan, tell us the right way, which would not only help us remain as noble human beings, but would also set us as examples in society and help in creating a better society and peaceful world? Sri Bhagavan: I cannot speak to you about any right way or right path. We are speaking about a permanent transformation, which would hold good wherever you are. It does not matter whether you are in this atmosphere or you are in the world outside. They key thing here is for you to get into a state where ‘seeing’ is occurring all the time. That is what we are trying to do in the courses here. When ‘seeing’ happens, all suffering ceases because to see is to be free. There is no effort involved, there is no time involved. The example that we often give is, supposing there were snake in front of you, you would be scared and would shiver in fear. The moment you see it is not a snake but a rope, instantly the fear is gone. No time is involved, no effort is involved. You see and are free. The same thing applies to what is going on within the mind. If you could really see what is going on. Whatever that might be, whether it be a lustful thought or a murderous thought, or any kind of thought; there is only joy and freedom. ‘what is there’ is not important. The only thing is – to ‘see’ whatever is going on. Since it is only seeing, we do not call it ’the path’ or ‘the right path’. We don’t use such words. That is why we often say there is no path here.
