YOUR ACTIONS ARE NOT FOR YOUR FOOD OR COMFORTS; THEY ARE IN SEARCH OF FULFILLMENT. THEY INDICATE THE INHERENT SEARCH FOR UNBOUNDEDNESS...

Fulfillment is not attained by an action. In every stage of your life you thought, "If this happens, my life will become complete." This thought may have come up. When you were a child you thought, "If I get this toy, my life will be complete.: You got it, but after three days you took it and threw it into the dustbin. Life did not attain fulfillment. When you were in school you thought that if you passed your examination, life would be complete. That happened, and still nothing changed. Then you thought that if you complete your education, your life would be complete. That too happened. Now you thought, what is the use of all this education if you are not able to stand on your own feet? That happened. After three months you began to think, what is the use of working like a donkey? If you get married to that man or woman who is in your heart, your life is made. That happened and then you know what happened.
***
Whatever action you may have performed, life has not attained any fulfillment. Fulfillment will not come because of some action that you perform. Only if your inner nature is complete, your life will attain fulfillment. If your inner nature is unbounded, your life is also be the same. Now, you can either sit with your eyes closed or you can perform different actions, either way your life is complete. When man has reached a state where, within himself, he does not have the need to perform any action and the actions that he performs are only to the extent required for an external situation, then that man has become complete.
***
Please see, why have you been performing one action after another? It is towards fulfillment, isn't it? People who do something in excess, when you ask them why they are doing it, they say, "What to do ? Food, wife, kids -- who will take care of them?" The truth is, even if you fulfill all his needs, this person cannot sit quietly for even a day. Why, he cannot even sit for three hours. He has to do something. This is because your inner nature has not attained fulfillment and you are trying to do so through your actions. Your actions are not for your food or comforts; they are in search of fulfillment. Whether this has happened with or without awareness, actions indicate the search for unboundedness.
***
If within you, your inner nature has attained fulfillment, there will be no need for action. If the external situation demands some action, you can do it joyously. If it is not needed, you can simply sit with your eyes closed. When a person has reached a state where there is no need to perform any action, we can say that the person has become unbounded. that does not mean that this person does not do any work at all. If the external situation demands it, he can work for 24 hours. But action is not needed for his inner nature. He is not bound to action. He is not something because of his actions..........
Fulfillment will not come because of an action that you perform. Only if your inner nature is complete, your life will attain fulfillment.
