Question: As a Realized being, do you have reactions to circumstances?

Babaji: 

No. Simply if a situation occurs, I bring my mind up to the level of the world and I act; but the mind does not react in getting sad and so on.

Question: In the story of Ramayana, Sri Rama sometimes cries. Can you please explain a Self-Realized one showing that reaction?

Babaji: 

While the body reacts, the Self does not react. In the Ramayana when Sri Rama sees His brother Lakshmana hit by a missile, He starts crying, “What will I tell our mother?”

It can be tricky to explain these things.

Thus sage Vaisistha says, “A Yogi may be inert, but still if someone prays to a Yogi deeply, the Yogi will become compassionate.”
