124 The Guru and the Disciple
this mischief; it continues to go on and on. People have become heirs to thrones.
Who has the right to these thrones? The one who does not have any anger, pride, deceit and greed has a right to this throne. Do you not see justice in this?
Questioner: That is right.
Dadashri: So many people ask me why I started this Akram path. I tell them that I have not started it; I simply became a nimit( instrumental in the process). Why would I start it? Do I want to create a throne here? Have I come here to create thrones? Am I dethroning anyone? No, I do not create or destroy anything. There is no such thing here and there is no throne here, is there? Those who have thrones have problems. Where there are thrones, there is no moksha there.
The grave danger of desire to be worshipped
People in religion have found these ways to uphold their opinions and open shops for their own worship; hence, they did not let people come out of that rut. They have misled people so that people would worship them. Saboteurs say this is okay and will not let anything else in. Saboteur means one with a desire to be worshipped by others. The desire to be worshipped is a broker ship of business, is it not?
If a religious book happens to fall in someone’ s hands and people ask him to read it out aloud for a group, from that moment onwards a desire such as‘ now people will appreciate and worship me’ wells up within him. If this happens, that individual should be dismissed. How can such a desire arise within you after touching a Gnani’ s book? On the contrary, such a book should actually destroy any such existing desires. Can you understand that such desires to be worshipped arise in people?
Questioner: Yes.
