Jnanis

A visitor said, “Jnanis generally retire from active life and do not engage in any worldly activity.”

Bhagavan: They may or may not. Some, even after realising, carry on trade or business or rule over a kingdom. Some retire into forests and abstain from all acts except those absolutely necessary to keep life in the body. So, we cannot say all jnanis give up activity and retire from life.

Visitor: I want to know if Bhagavan can give concrete examples, like the butcher Dharmavyadha mentioned in our books, of jnanis now living and doing their ordinary daily work in life.

Bhagavan did not answer.
