idol does not talk to you, at least you can talk. What is wrong
in that? You should say, “Lord, why don’t you talk to me? Do
you not have trust in me?” Do people not laugh if you say the
same thing to them? That idol will laugh. Do you have one or
two idols?
Questioner : One.
Dadashri : Do you bathe Thakorji (the idol)?
Questioner : Yes. I do it everyday.
Dadashri : With cold water or hot water?
Questioner : With warm water.
Dadashri : That is good. Otherwise Thakorji will feel
cold if you use cold water and hot water can scald. Therefore,
you need warm water. Do you feed Thakorji everyday or do
you make Him fast (agiyaras)?
Questioner : Even I do not fast.
Dadashri : There is no problem if you do not fast, but do
you feed Thakorji?
Questioner : Yes.
Dadashri : What time do you feed Him?
Questioner : I put Him to sleep after feeding Him at eight
in the morning and then I go to work after taking the food
offered to Thakorji (prasad).
Dadashri : Do you then eat in the afternoon?
Questioner : I eat anywhere I can when I get hungry.
Dadashri : Yes, but do you check up on Thakorji if He
is hungry or not?
Questioner : How can I do that when I am at work?
