Spirituality is not difficult; there is just a certain subtlety to it that people don’t understand. The hopeless thing about spirituality is that the effort you make to dissolve is also karma. You will not grow unless you create the desire to grow, to reach this. At the same time, if the desire continues, it is karma in itself and will continue to create new karma. But if you can get to a state where you are so involved and engaged in life that you don’t care at all, it’s very easy. You have to be involved and do things as if your life depends on it, but in reality it doesn’t matter at all.
Only when you have no fear of entanglement can you experience the feeling of being deeply involved in something that means nothing to you. For this to happen, you must be either crazy, or drunk with bliss, or in love with someone and not care about anything. If you lack any of these three qualities, it is difficult to do something very passionately and not care about what it is.
Whatever you do, it should be the way the situation demands, nothing more, nothing less. The moment it becomes important to you, you become a vested interest. The moment you do it with any purpose, whether it be for satisfaction or happiness, or for money, or because you want to go to heaven, you become a vested interest. The moment you become a vested interest, there is no spirituality in you.
Now, people always think, “You should not expect the fruits of your actions.” The moment I say that I am not interested in the fruits of your actions, you will misinterpret it as “the results are not important.” Results are important. When we do something, we do it so that it will work out, right? When you do some action, you do it so that it will work out, you think about it, you put yourself in it all the time. It’s just that it is not important to you personally. You have nothing to gain or lose from it. If the situation requires it, you do it. If it is not required, you just put everything back and sit quietly. When you have this freedom within yourself, karma becomes a conscious thing.
