Teacher: The Spirit Within. 
Subject: “Tasks.”

Received by Valdir Soares.

The Spirit Within: “Throughout your life, my child, besides my being the compass for your daily living by advising you about what kind of decision some circumstances require, I might also have certain tasks for you to accomplish.  In this way you can occupy yourself with the plan I prepared for you before coming to indwell you.  Often these tasks are not perceived by you as part of the plan.  Sometimes, they simply appear to you as fortuitous events that simply chance to come your way.  That is not the case when I choose them to represent my tasks for you.  At that time they become opportunities that embody part of my plans for your spiritual development during your ascendant career.

“Some apparently-casual encounters truly become special events, because I have carefully selected them to offer you opportunities to accomplish specific goals that I have for your life.  These events are not designed, or directly caused by me, since I never manipulate your will to produce certain results.  However, they are decided on by me because I deem them to be suited to my purpose of leading you towards practicing certain actions that will produce spiritual growth for your soul, ministry of goodness to others, and even sovereign repercussions to the Supreme, the Deity of Evolution.

“When I choose events with this objective in mind, they become my tasks for you.  I will make sure that my longings are sufficiently heightened in your mind, so they will become adequately compelling to motivate you to act according to the will of the Father regarding these opportunities.  However, the decision to act is still yours, my child, as I will only make sure that the option represents the will of the Father, and is the best option for you.  Therefore, sometimes I will let you know that you are ‘on a mission’, that you have an assignment specially designed by me, for you to advance on your spiritual path.

“Even now, my child, we are partners in this great adventure.  I have flawlessly guided you through life, and although there were deviations here and there, due your actual choices, we have managed to arrive at the point at which you can now realize more of my direct leadings, and so, more consciously discharge your ‘missions’.  Keep your mind open, so you can hear my voice clearly and often.  Do not be afraid, my child, about my choices for you.  I know you, and I know what is best for you.  These events of my choice may occasionally be hard for you to follow through on.  However, remember that the tasks I set aside for you are to advance your spiritual progress.”

U-R Interdependent
The body is dependent on the whole creation. In society, somebody has to make clothes, produce electricity, drill for oil. The body cannot be independent of the world. For the body, dependency is absolute. When the Spirit identifies with the body, then it gets pinched and looks for independence. Mind, intellect, ego - they all look for independence.
In looking for independence often you get stuck in the ego and become more miserable. Most people are not aware of their dependency. When they become aware of their limitations and dependency, the desire for independence arises. Independence cannot be achieved unless you start moving from within. When you move within, you discover that you are interdependent. Individual Self/Soul/Jeeva is interdependent and in fact every wise person knows that everything is interdependent and that there is nothing like independence.
On one level dependency is a harsh reality. On another level, it is an illusion because there is nothing else but the Self. It's only when you don't feel oneness, belongingness that you want independence. The Self being non-dual, there is no question of dependence or independence. One who asks for independence is a beggar. One who knows that it is an illusion is a King. When the sense of belongingness is not well founded, then there is a volatile state in the life of a seeker. Then the ego finds some excuse to revert to smallness. It is not yet totally soaked in the totality of knowledge. As it is not used to it, the mind finds every little excuse to revert back to the ego and to be aloof and independent and separate and it would find any small fault and blow it out of proportion. Be aware of these tendencies and come what may, be strong in the commitment to the Satsang, the Path.
Question: How about self-sufficiency?
Answer: Self is sufficient and efficient. . . . [laughter]
