Tap to open in glossary → One should not abandon one's responsibility. Abandoning one's responsibility is not the strength of refuge; it is called being deceitful. Such giving is called false; it is not giving at all. It is like dry coconut. One wants to gain something without doing anything. Honestly, one has a responsibility that 'I should do this.' If God does so much for us, what should we do for Him? Don't we have some responsibility to do something, rather than just eating and making excuses? Whose share are we eating now? We eat God's share. Then, if one wants to eat something precious, one should not do anything for it, but only for oneself. So, fulfill your responsibility, but do not be arrogant about it, thinking, 'I fulfilled my responsibility better than that person; that person doesn't fulfill it.' So, mostly we forget our existence. The reason for this is that when there are too many people around, 'he does this, he does that, he does this, he does that,' we forget what we are supposed to do and get caught up in jealousy or competition. They get caught up in wrong competition. If it were right, there would be no problem. So, they get caught up in wrong competition. And pleasing God remains undone. To please Him, we have some responsibility. What is that responsibility called? What is it called? What is it called? 'Anukulyasya sankalpah pratikulyasya varjanam.' 'Rakshishyati iti vishwaso goptrutva varanam tatha atmanikshepa karpanyam' – this is the responsibility of one who takes refuge. How much he fulfills it. God fulfills His duty; it is His title, and He fulfills it. There is no change in that. We need to see how much we fulfill. Is the responsibility of the five vows primary, or is the other one primary? Which one? No, in this verse, the responsibility of the five vows is included. If I act favorably towards what is liked and disliked, and abandon what is unfavorable, wouldn't that be included? Has it been said to do only what is favorable, or something else? If Maharaj says, 'I don't get along with this, but I get along with that,' what does that mean?
