Whoever has met us in this life, is the result of our own inclinations towards certain works. If we continue to behave with such souls with the same nature in this birth, we will continue to carry the same burden.There will be no end of it forever. If those works are done with the spirit that these works are given to us to finish our destiny with them; such works should be done not with the spirit of soul nature but with the spirit that such works are for the worship of god. Our lives will have a higher purpose if such service to our relatives is done with the awareness, devotion and with complete attention. Most of the time we do not have much say in the matter and we have to do the work any ways. So please when such incident happens consider it as the opportunity given to us by god. The soul will develop higher if there is spirit of awareness and devotion in the mind and heart that these incidents of service are the indirect ways that god has bestowed on us to elevate our lives. The worldly life (sansar, સંસાર) is given to us as a stage for appropriate penance. We need to find our god in sansar and express in our lives. God is not separate from it. If we can accept this fact sansar need not be enjoyed in a worldly fashion but used as a part of the development of our lives with awareness and devotion. If the soul is fortunate enough to understand this, it will be very beneficial. This benefit is not, out somewhere. But the soul cannot maintain the creative awareness of the appropriate thought with knowledge and devotion, the reason being its failure to be careful and remember at the appropriate time due to the absence of complete and intense desire for self interest. Everything is very easy if such awareness is present. For this reason we have to keep and maintain living and creative purpose with firmness, while performing the works that come our way. When such practice is firmly grounded with love, devotion and it is thought of in a creative way; the soul will express its divine qualities.
