will leave when the Gnani Purush utters vitaragi words. That is
why ‘we’ make such statements as, “What kind of a person are
you? For just once, wisen up! You go around saying, ‘I am. I
am’, but what are you all about?” Swachhand has no place to
stand if you surrender to someone. When one remains
subservient to someone he will not have any self guided initiative
and action (swachhand). Become anyone’s subordinate and the
swachhand will depart. That is why Krupaludev has said:
“Roke jiva swachhand to paame avasya moksha”
“If one ceases swachhand, one will definitely attain moksha.”
And then Krupaludev has also shown us how to get rid
of that swachhand by stating the following:
“Pratyaksh Sadguru yogathi swachhand te rokaya,
“Through a direct meeting with a Sadguru, swachhand can be
stopped.
anya upaya karya thaki praye bamano thaaya”
Through attempts of any other kind, it will only grow many
folds.”
True guru – true disciple
The problem with the ascetics and sanyasi gurus nowadays
is that they are not subservient to anyone. They would not have
conflicts with their disciples if they were. Their problems would
be solved if either the guru was to remain subservient to his
disciple or the disciple was to remain subservient to the guru.
What is wrong in the guru being deferential towards the disciple
in certain aspects? When a guru does not have eyes, does he
not become dependent on his disciples? So, for one life, if a
guru with good eyes becomes subservient and deferential to his
disciples, then the problem would be solved. A guru may feel
that his disciple will take advantage of him. Is the disciple really
going to take advantage of the guru? What independent power
does he have? He himself is being controlled by his prakruti. But
