Your desire
Your desire to help is really only possible in Jnana

Q: Sometimes I feel that it is selfish to want Self-realization because to achieve this one must be completely alienated from society and from other human beings. It seems that I must pursue sadhana by myself and be indifferent to all the suffering people that I see around me.
If I ask these suffering people, ' Are you really suffering or is it just my imagination?’, they will all say that their suffering is real.
How can I deliberately ignore all this suffering that I see around me without feeling guilty about it?

AS: There is no society, there is no suffering and there is no world.
The world, the society and the suffering that you perceive are all part of your dream. They have no reality except in your own mind.
If you see a hungry man in your dream you can cook him a dream meal and give him some dream food. That will give him some temporary relief. If instead, you wake up, you solve the problem permanently because you discover that the hungry man only existed in your imaginary dream world.
The world is like a reflection in a mirror. The world which we see is merely a reflection of our gunas, our own state of mind. We see the reflection, forget the mirror, and imagine that we are looking at a real world which is separate from us.
You are continuously radiating a mental energy which affects everything and everyone around you. If you are in a rajasic or a tamasic state you are automatically infecting the world with your unwholesome state of mind.
The jnani, who is established in the reality beyond the gunas, experiences only continuous peace and bliss. He alone can help other people by radiating this peace and bliss to them. If you try to help this world with some physical activity, the good that you do may be more than wiped out by the negative mental vibrations which you inflict on the world. If make your mind pure, you automatically help everyone in the world because each person will receive a cleansing and healing measure of your own purity.
