Question: "During our lifetime some of us enters and are stuck deeply in existential crises with a feeling of deep separation to the divine. Can you please help us andwhat to do in these situations?" Sri Bhagavan: ""What to do" is the wrong question. There is nothing to do. Just keep quiet, then everything will just happen. The problem is that you keep trying to do something. In the external world you must do things. (…) It is very necessary. But in the inner world, the problem is you continue with the same kind of effort. In the inner world you must give up the effort. It must become effortless, automatic. So when existential sorrows strikes you, it is like a huge tiger coming at you. Instead of trying to defend yourself from the tiger or escaping the tiger, we recommend that you jump into the mouth of the tiger - and die. All what is required in the inner world is death. You die to the past, you die to the future, and then obviously you stay in the present, and all is over. Actually, in the inner world we can move very fast, if you stop doing anything. The problem is that we all the time do something, there is not work in the inner world. The only thing I will say to you is: Please give up. (…) Doing nothing does not mean indifference, but being very much alive of what is going on inside. Its the slight changes you do and you will race off."
