People came to Gurudev with the strangest problems. At one of the satsangs, a teenager was sitting, leaning against the wall with a pained lost look on her face.

“What is it, dear girl?” asked Gurudev. “What seems to be troubling you?”

The youngster looked up startled. She started to mumble something. “I … I … don’t know, Swamiji,” she stuttered. “I am confused. And I don’t know what it is I am confused about.”

“Relax”, said Gurudev. “You are not the only one. The whole world is confused. And the confusion arises from only one thing — when you DO what is unnecessary and you FAIL TO DO what is necessary. If you understand this, you will never again be confused in life.”
