Care
“Unconditional”
Care implies that you look after an object, vegetation, animal or a human. The care depends on conditions like, love or preference for an object, vegetation, animal or human.
Now an object, vegetation, animal or human is within a particular moment in life. Now within one moment neither a second moment nor the next moment exists. This signifies that a moment is all by itself in life.
The moment in life signifies that what is within the moment cannot be any other than what is in the moment. This signifies that only the object, vegetation, animal or human can be within a particular moment and no other.
The moment in life also signifies that the state of the object, vegetation, animal or human in the moment cannot be in any other state than the state of object, vegetation, animal or human that is within any particular moment in life.
The moment in life also signifies that the action of a man or woman in the moment cannot be another action than the action that is in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.
The moment in life also signifies that a thought in the mind of man or woman in the moment cannot be another thought than the thought that is in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.
The moment in life also signifies that the word spoken by a man or woman in the moment cannot be another word than the word that is spoken in the moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.
The moment in life also signifies that the health of a man or woman in the moment is what it is and cannot be other than what it is in a particular moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life, because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.
The moment in life also signifies that the sickness of a man or woman in the moment is what it is and cannot be other than what it is in a particular moment. The moment in life also signifies that man does not make any moment in life, because the moment in life was in life before man was in the moment.
When the wisdom of the moment is understood by man or woman, they will have unconditional care for an object, vegetation, animal or a human. Their care will not be based on conditions like, love or preference.
The enlightened take care of an object, vegetation, animal and human no matter how they are in any moment.

Editor’s Note:
‘The quality of mercy is not strained. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath.’ These words proclaimed by the poet in the 16th century are given significance by the understanding gifted in this article. Whatever exists in the moment of life has no condition set upon its existence. It is as it is. Care is a quality endowed by the intelligence of life on a universal scale wherever and whenever there is a need in existence. Man, however, has imported the condition of affection or disaffection in his or her application of care. Furthermore, it is said by the wise that neither man nor his brain can accomplish any action or its outcome. Gradual understanding of the wisdom of the moment is the taking of care.

German Translator‘s Note:
The care of the human being who believes in his mind as reality usually depends on the question of what benefit it brings. It is frustrating for the ego if its care does not bring the hoped-for success. Conditions and impatience are fed by the idea that the carer and the one receiving the care is the doer and must do the right thing to improve a situation. But true caring is unconditional by the wise understanding that only what is destined to happen happens; and only the freedom from conditions in the process of caring makes possible boundless patience, unconditional love, and absolute trust. Only in this way, if it is meant to happen, can the object, the vegetation, the animal and the person to whom care is given fully entrust themselves to life, whatever may come. Such care, as it emanates from the Enlightened Beings, is also presented in this caring article by Dr. Shankar, and is invaluable and evokes supreme gratitude.
