with greater intellect (buddhi)?
Dadashri: No, but the one with the lesser intellect will
naturally not make fun of others, will he?
Someone may have a very funny walk and you laugh at
him. Hey you! Why are you making fun of him? God within him
has understood and taken note of everything. He has taken note
that You have just laughed at Him. You laughed at God mockingly.
Your condition will become like that too. That is the law of
nature. So avoid such results.
Questioner: I end up making fun of important people.
Dadashri: You just found out that it is wrong to make fun
of others, whereas I knew it when I was young, but even then
the fun-making continued for almost eight to ten years. You will
be able to get rid of it very quickly.
Still, there is nothing wrong in making fun where no one
gets hurt and everyone gets joy out of it. That is called innocent
fun. ‘We’ still continue making that kind of fun because the root
of it (the habit of making fun) does not go away, does it? But
there is only innocence in it.

Questioner: How is it that you get along well with such
little children?
Dadashri: ‘We’ keep at hand a set of ‘counter-pulleys.’
‘We’ have so many such sets that whatever kind of person
comes here, ‘we’ immediately apply an appropriate counter-
pulley. So if a small toddler comes along and does ‘Jai, Jai’ to
‘us,’ then I have to communicate with him, do I not? No child
ever has any fear when he sees me.
Questioner: What do you do when someone of the same
status as You comes here?
