how will one distinguish between a friend and a stranger?
How will be say that s/he is an Indian or an American?
And how will one be in the position to say that one is a Hindu, a Sikh a Muslim or a Christian?
How will one accept and adopt any boundary line or tradition?
No, one will be able to do nothing. Even though one be in the living world, his feet are conducting her/him to the place where truth resides, where goodness emits fragrance, where is found the quintessence of life.
The stage towards which his steps are directed is the true destination of life. The detached person is a failure in the worldly sense, that is why one feels him/herself worthless. One feels that one has been able to do nothing, because one could not do anything.
In fact,
One was incapable of anything; could not even have an empty smile; one could not shed crocodile tears; the confinement to restraints suffocated her/him; one could not be selfish.
Then what should one do?
One lives in the world but remains out of it; Remains in relationships, but keeps aloof from them; One is in the crowd, but feels like lost; One heaves her/his breaths, but is not alive.
