Love and responsibility always go hand in hand. When you truly love, you will take up total responsibility as well. People think that sannyasis are those who run away from responsibility. Let me tell you: When you forego responsibility towards your own family, you are taking up responsibility for a much bigger family, for humanity at large, a family which is millions of times bigger than your own. People don’t understand this and they criticize.
The more responsibility you take up, the more you expand. Responsibility is something that can be easily shrugged. But if you don’t shrug it and keep on shouldering it, you will expand and the Divine Energy will automatically flow in you. And you can take up more and more responsibility only when you feel overflowing Energy in you. I always tell my healers in the healers’ meet, to take up as much responsibility for the suffering and pain around them and heal people.
When you feel that you are responsible for the pain around you, you will automatically stand up to help reduce it in some way or the other. People often think that it is enough if they do things for their own family. This is a way of contraction, not a way of expansion. You need to expand for growth to happen. You will radiate energy when you stand up with responsibility. Existence will automatically flow through you when you take up responsibility.
