‘we’ will not make a note of it. It is a grave mistake to make
intense mental notes.
Therefore, pay no attention to anyone, nor complain

worthless person?’ Otherwise one would make a note of
something that he likes. So people make intense mental notes of
things they do not like as well as things they do like.

Dadashri: Do you have any authority to say it as it is?
You do not have that vision. You cannot say anything without the
