Dadi had totally surrendered to Sain & Krishna. She had no attachment for any worldly items: Neither with money, nor with children.

She had no desire for any position, for participating in any matters. She was totally passive to any mortal activities. But was active when it came to Satsang, JAP, prayers, meditation, chanting bhajans with others. She had NO Ego.

She had NO wants, hence she had no worries, faced many challenges, difficult situations in life with spiritual solace and calmness. She loved ALL inspite of any shortcoming by others.

A RARE CONVERSATION BETWEEN RAMKRISHNA PARAMAHANSA & SWAMI VIVEKANANDA narrates similar behaviour for a seeker:

1. Swami Vivekanand:- Why has life become complicated now?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Stop analyzing life.. It makes it complicated. Just live it. 2. Swami Vivekanand:- Why are we then constantly unhappy?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Worrying has become your habit. Thats why you are not happy. 3. Swami Vivekanand:- Why do good people always suffer?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don’t suffer. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter. 4. Swami Vivekanand:- You mean to say such experience is useful?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and then the lessons. 5. Swami Vivekanand:- Because of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading!

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides the way. 6. Swami Vivekanand:- Does failure hurt more than moving in the right direction?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. 7. Swami Vivekanand:- In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing. 8. Swami Vivekanand:- What surprises you about people?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- When they suffer they ask, why me? When they prosper, they never ask Why me? 9. Swami Vivekanand:- How can I get the best out of life?

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. 10. Swami Vivekanand:- One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

Ramkrishna Paramahansa:- There are no unanswered prayers. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live it...
