The Easiest Principle

A sadhu asked Swamishri as to how he manages such a mega organization like the BAPS. Swamishri replied, “Everything is being managed by the grace of God, Shastriji Maharaj and Yogiji Maharaj. I had said no (to Shastriji Maharaj) for managing the Sanstha. Then correspondence to Mumbai on this matter (with Shastriji Maharaj) took place two to three times. (Shastriji Maharaj) sent Champakbhai Seth to explain to me (to accept the responsibility as president). Shastriji Maharaj told me, ‘You won’t have to run everything! It is Maharaj who is doing everything. Through his will and wish all things happen.’ And really it is through His wish that everything runs. He is the doer and He is the inspirer.”
Swamishri further added, “There is only one principle. Without God’s inspiration nothing happens. I remember Maharaj while speaking. It is because of His wish that I speak.”
The sadhu concluded, “In all your deeds you hold God to be the doer.”
Swamishri replied, “By realizing His doership one becomes free from all problems. One will remain happy by believing good or bad results to be Maharaj’s wish.”
Another sadhu responded, “It is the most difficult of all principles.”
Swamishri smiled and stated, “It is the easiest of all.”
