| CONCLUSION - THE FULFILLMENT OF FRUIT - THE GRACE OF THE LORD |
The triple state of siddha23. When the jnani, the seer, reaches the final stage, all activities cease; they drop off. But this does not mean that in this stage there will be no activity at all. Actions may be done through him, or they may not. This last stage is surpassingly beautiful and noble. In that state, whatever happens, there is no thought about it.And whatever happens is beneficent and beautiful. He now stands at the summit of sadhana. And although he does everything now, he does nothing. Even when he kills, he does not kill. And when he does good, it is not he that does good. 24. This final state of freedom is also the last stage of sadhana. The last stage of sadhana is reached when sadhana becomes natural, easy. Then there is not even the thought that one is doing something. In other words, I should call this the "a moral" stage of sadhana. The stage of realization is not a moral stage. The little child speaks the truth, but that does not make him moral, because he has no idea of what falsehood means. To be acquainted with falsehood and yet to speak the truth, that is moral action. In the state of realization, there is no falsehood at all; there is only truth. Hence there is no question of morality. There no forbidden thing can enter; the ear cannot hear what should not be heard; the eye cannot see what should not be seen. |
