The Guru and the Disciple
Dadashri: Yes, he can do anything, but there should not
be any expectations for money. His intention should not be bad.
If you were to forcefully take me to your home, is that considered
blessing your home through my footsteps? It has to happen with
my being pleased. Then it does not matter whether you please me
through words or through deceit. However, you cannot please
me through deceit.
There are some who even come here to deceive me; they
come to flatter me, but I will not be deceived. Hundreds of
thousands of people come to me. Some try to flatter me while
wanting something or other but he will not succeed. He will not be
able to get a response from me. He will realize that he will not get
anywhere and so he will leave. I have seen such ‘gurus’ - deceitful
gurus. I recognize them the moment they come here. Do you not
have to call them ‘guru’? What else are they? You cannot call
them deceivers; you have to call them ‘guru’, don’t you?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: I have met many such gurus. I will not say
anything to them directly. They eventually get tired thinking, ‘I
have come here to tell him things and I have brought him things,
but he does not even listen to me.’ They eventually get tired and
leave with a realization that they cannot get anywhere with this
Dada and that there is no such opportunity in the future. Hey you!
I don’t want anything; why do you try to look for opportunities
here? Go to someone who wants something; go to a lalachu
man. There is no covetousness here. I will send them back, no
matter who comes here.
People come here saying, ‘Come on in Uncle, we do not
like it here without you. You can tell us to do anything and we will
do it for you. We will even massage your legs for you.’ They will
come to flatter you this way. Just turn a deaf ear to such flattery.
Do you understand this?
