Emotional Support
(Hunf) of the Gnani
WARMTH
(hunf) of
Other Humans
A newly elected minister, with an
important portfolio, was very happy to be
elected during his maiden election.
However his PA was happier than him on
his getting elected. The minister could
now exercise power, and this corrupted
his PA's mind. The PA became more
arrogant, egoistic, not very friendly to the
public and behaved as if he was the
minister. He enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle,
all thanks to the minister. The PA dared to
behave in such a manner, only because he
had the support (hunf) of his minister. All
interactions of the public with the PA were
going to waste, because no one dared to
go against this highly influential minister
and his personal assistant.
It so happened that the minister
was defeated by his rival candidate in the
next election. The minister's failure
shocked his assistant. Now he could no
longer usurp power under his minister's
protection (hunf). All the comforts and
vanity had vanished in a second. A shadow
of fear constantly lurked on his back, for
now was payback time for him for the
misuse of his master's powers (hunf).

Temporary hunf provides
Temporary gains: Beware!

Questioner: Every man needs emotional
support. For example, At home, as long
as the father is with his child, the child
feels safe. Otherwise the child
experiences fear.
Dadashri: Emotional support itself is
hunf. Everyone needs hunf. If the son has
hunf from his parents, his life goes
smoothly. If that support is gone, he
searches for it outside. In the absence of
hunf, one becomes restless. As long as
one does not become fearless, he
searches for hunf.
Questioner: Can a person who gets the
Gnani's hunf, be free of all external
support (Niralamb)?
Dadashri: Yes, sure! That is the way to
become free from all external support
(Niralamb)!
The whole world searches for hunf. It is
the basis of peoples' lives. A wife requires
her husband's hunf. A daughter also
needs her husband's or her father's hunf.
Everyone needs it. If one has to sleep in
his bungalow alone, he calls for someone
to stay with him overnight. Now, if
someone comes to beat him, then do you
think that this person will save him? In
fact if his friend is a coward, he will let him
get beaten up.. But still, he likes hunf.
The 'Jeev' (the relative self) itself is
searching for hunf. The Gnani Purush
gives tremendous hunf. The Gnani is the
only one who doesn't need hunf. A Gnani
is Niralamb (free from all external
supports). Others take His support, but
He doesn't need anyone's support. He is
totally Niralamb.
