does not listen to it anymore. So it would stop; in this way the
mind and everything else will turn around. You have to act
contrary to the mind; you have to shake it up a little. If people

What do we mean by a tuber of greed? A person has a
constant awareness of how much and where his money is. So
much is in the bank, so much is with such and such person, so
much is held up in this project – this remains constant in his
awareness. He will never have the awareness of ‘I am pure
Soul’. His awareness and preoccupation with money must be
broken; his awareness must be engaged in his real Self.
The intrinsic characteristic of a greedy person is that he
will not be influenced by anything. He cannot be ‘colored’
(influenced) by anything, he remains unaffected by anything. He
remains ‘yellow’, whether you dip him in red color or green
color. If a person is greedy, all you need to understand is that
he will not be colored by anything.
Those without greed will be easily colored. When the
greedy person laughs, everyone will think he is colored and is
in with the rest of the crowd. Not so. The greedy person will
listen to everything I say, he will even say that this Gnan is very
good and that he feels very happy just listening to it but from
within nothing touches him. Others forget all about their worldly
life and possessions in this satsang but not the greedy one. He
will not forget his greed; he is thinking if I leave now and if that
other person also leaves, I will go with him in his car so I can
save five rupees. Other people forget everything; they don’t
even think about saving money in fares. They become entranced
