| CONCLUSION - THE FULFILLMENT OF FRUIT - THE GRACE OF THE LORD |
| Only
that which should be done will get done through the hand; no effort
is needed. That which should be avoided keeps itself off; there is
no need to avoid it. This is the state in which there is no
morality. It is in this culmination of sadhana, call it a
moral or beyond morality it is here, in this transcendence of
morality that one sees the supreme heights of morality.
This phrase, 'transcendence of morality'
strikes me as happy. We may also call this state of saattvik
action, which is free of sattva, is beyond goodness.
25. How is one to describe this state? Just as before an eclipse darkness fills the sky, the shadow of the moksha which is to come at the death of the body begins to spread even before the body falls. Even while living in the body, the experience of the state of moksha, which is to come, begins. When we try to describe this state, words fail. However much violence a man in this state commits, he does nothing. By what measure can we measure his actions? All the actions which take place through him will only be sattvik. Even when all activity has been exhausted, he will continue to confer blessing on the world. I do not know what language to use to describe this.
