Because your disturbance goes on, it doesn't matter how much water you throw on it, the fire doesn't go out. So in one respect, the big answer is that you can't possibly know what to do with your life as long as you're identified with what you call your life telling you who you have to be. It's impossible. You're just going to serve the ego, which is what we've spent our whole life doing. Ego can never be satisfied. Its satisfaction is worry. Its satisfaction is measuring itself, thinking about itself as in "What do I do?" And then, the most egotistical thing of all, "What can I do to make a change in the world?"

When does the world change? When I serve somebody a sandwich? When I join the community board, tried to deal with this problem or that situation? When I change political affiliation? Is that when the world changes?

When does the world change? When I change. Let that be enough. Learn to care for the first thing: "Physician Heal Thyself." Then what is taken care of? It will tell you what it wants you to take care of.

We suffer from what we call "taking care" of this and that. And yes, you have parents. You should take care of your parents. You have children up to a certain age that you should take care of. But by God, when your children reach the age of maturity, it's time to let them go. But you can't, because you are as dependent on them as they are on you in that sick cycle of life -- "Because I'm important. So let me be important to you. I'll be important to you and you'll be important to me." That's not caring. That's corruption. But you have to see all this.

Get rid of "Who am I? What should I do? Where am I going to go?" Complete the moment where that thing is talking to you. Die to it.

What is born knows what to do with the next moment, and the next moment, and the next moment. Then, whatever you do, do it with all your heart. Go serve a sandwich, but make it the best sandwich you've ever made because this world is drowning in mediocrity.
