He's saying the same thing as MMY, it's called a "line on water", you become so infused with Being (bliss) that the outer circumstances don't *overshadow* the awareness of Being (Nirvana). In conjunction with that, all of the human emotions that are available are still felt but don't bind the awareness to them, (like a line on water), they are there for the appropriate time and then gone. As Krishna said to Arjuna: "Mistraigunyo bhav-Arjuna" (Be without the three gunas), and "Yogastah kuru karmani" (established in Being 'Yoga' perform Action). Thereby action will not only be appropriate but more effective, the Lady who asked the question was obviously being overshadowed by her emotions and didn't know how to handle them and hence the question basically...."what to do"? His answer was correct and appropriate. Assuming the orphans weren't in Nirvana, then they were subject to suffering due to the lack of awareness of Self (or Being) and at the mercy of their own past life karma.
