Śrī Ganesh V asked: Pādanamaskāraṃ Swamy ji, Despite my best efforts I spend my time and energy thinking about the result in nivṛtti. How can I overcome it? At Your divine feet, Ganesh V.
Swāmi replied:- What is the use of thinking about the result without thinking way of success to get the result? What is the use of thinking about the seat of Engineering course without thinking about the preparation for EAMCET test, which alone gives the Engineering seat? No doubt that the fruit of Nivṛtti is the highest because 1) The devotee will never have separation from God either here or in the upper world and 2) The devotee is relieved from all sins and is totally taken care of like the mother cat taking care of its child (Mārjāla kiśora nyāya). But, the fruit is rigidly bound to its way of success. This is the reason that why the Lord told in the Gītā that you should concentrate on the action that achieves the fruit without worrying about the fruit (Karmaṇyevā'dhikāraste, mā phaleṣu kadācana).
