Devotee: How is work to be done ordinarily for an aspirant?
Ramana Maharishi: Without self-identification with the actor. For instance, did you intend visiting this place while in Paris?
Devotee: No!
Ramana Maharishi: You see how you are acting without your intention to do so? The Gita says that a man cannot remain without acting. The purpose of one’s birth will be fulfilled whether you will it or not. Let the purpose fulfill itself.
