Aptavani-9
‘station’, you will never encounter it again, even after a hundred
thousand lifetimes.’ I have to pamper them like children in this
manner and make them sit. I even have to give them candies! I
ask you this, who has taken this Gnan with his own
understanding? I have had to coax and entice everyone, ‘Come

concepts of the human society. There are all kinds of people in
the society and so everything is dependant upon society. There
is no duality as far as the Lord is concerned. There is no profit
or loss. There are no such things as relationships either and I can
