You
must use your intelligence to discover what is best under the
circumstances and in the situation, considering the status and the
profession which you have won. The barber should not treat all things
equal and use his razor to peel vegetables, cut pencils and paper,
bamboos and beards alike. Each instrument has its own special use and
purpose; every individual has some skills and responsibilities. The king
should be treated as a king and the farmer as a farmer. But make sure
your activities leave no scar on your faith in Unity. Though in
principle all is Brahmam, in dealing with them in day-to-day activity, you cannot follow the non-dual approach. There should be Bhaava-adhwaitha, not Karma-adhwaitha,
that is to say, the underlying faith should be in the Unity of all,
though the outer activity may be different for varied entities.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
