If you reconnect to the Source you are reconnecting to the field of intention (will). With it anything is possible. Life itself becomes a miracle. Miracles begin to happen around you, because of you. But if you can maintain an enlightened attitude in which you do not even care about causing such miracles, then you are liberated even while you are here. This is another perspective on the phrase “Be here now”.
Connect to the Source while being here, and be neutral, in a state of bliss while here and you will soon be enlightened and liberated. Self realization means reconnection to the source of our Selves. Once connected to this Source, nothing can Truly go wrong in your life. Despite what might happen, you will know that it is all simply the way it is supposed to happen, and all is as it should be.
All of our problems arise from a disconnection from Source. They arise because of our erroneous perspectives which tell us that “something is wrong” when in fact the only thing that is wrong is the way we look at things and interpret them. This again, is attachment to what one observes. An attachment is what causes a rupture of sorts within our minds and makes us think that there is something wrong with what we are observing. If we reestablish a firm connection to the Source, then all problems in our lives cease because we see that everything is happening according to a perfect plan.
How powerful is this state of Enlightenment, of Divine Neutrality? There is a documented story of a yogi named Lahiri who reportedly didn’t even bat an eyelid when his own daughter died within his house only a few feet from him. He remained in a state of absolute neutrality and bliss even as this event was perceived as a tragedy by the other members of his family. He had attained such a state of enlightenment and liberation that he was not even attached to his own progeny. He just sat there calmly listening to one of his yoga students attempting to read passages from the Hindu holy scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, while all the commotion was happening near them.
When you lose connection to Source, you are in resistance to the Source, which will then cause problems in your life. When you forget that connection to Source and lose the mode of neutrality, then your mind and emotions will start to have opinions and reactions to what is going on around you. You start to resist things, which is itself a form of attachment. One cannot be liberated from something if one is resisting it. The very act of resistance is an action in the direction of whatever it is you are resisting. One must remember the concept of neutrality, and just let things be.
Now this Neutrality does not mean that one should sit on his ass and do nothing for remainder of life. That is not correct. The idea here is to Be Here Now, where you are, wherever you happen to be, and do your work or dharma at that place with no expectation of a reward for your labors. It is useless to worry about things going on 10000 miles away from oneself if there is literally nothing one can do about it. One must take care of what needs to be done here ‘at home’ first and foremost. The underlying idea here is a firm conviction, far and beyond mere belief, that you are right where the Source (God) needs you to be, and doing what needs to be done at any given moment in life.
And what if there is a problem somewhere other than where you are? A problem you are sure you could remedy, if only you were there? First of all, do not make the mistake of worrying about this problem. You cannot worry someone’s problems away, no matter if that person is near or far. Faith is needed on your part, faith that God is taking care of all tasks that need to be done thru those people who are most able to handle the work, wherever the problem may occur. And if you are nowhere near such a situation? Then you must realize that you are not the person most able to handle the problem, or that there is something much more important for you to take care of in another place. Therefore you must stick to your dharma wherever you are, and remain in a state of neutrality concerning distant problems, since it is obviously not your task to take are of. One must not fall into a messiah complex, always thinking that it is your duty to solve all the world’s problems yourself. That is not only unnecessary, but impossible. Stick to where you are and apply yourself to whatever task comes your way, always in a state of neutrality concerning what you are doing here and now and what you are unable to do somewhere else. Don’t be there now. Be here now.
