Speech Update -- Andhra Pradesh tour; Manginapudi - Samudra Sannidhi

[Guest guest]

You are very hungry. The friend has lot of food. But he is unwilling to give to

you though you are very hungry and begging. He is a wrong person in DHARMIC way.

If you take it without telling him because of your extreme hunger, you will not

be a sinner in DHARMIC way. But if you hit him and steal the food, then you are

a sinner.

 

Yoga is nothing but energizing your intellect. Finding out that what is needed

for you. Let us see what is in store in the coming three days. Most of you are

unlit lamps. All I have to do is light it. But for some I have to clan the lamp,

pour oil, prepare the wick and then only light it. I must teach them about

spirituality, about the greatness of this learning etc., That will happen only

if I have time, if the person is a fit to be taught and if his Karma and my

Karma permit. I never entertain the wish that I must make everyone devoted to

God or turn him or her God wards. I too am a human. I just have a graying beard

and I eat Chapatis and sleep on bed. Because you have put me on this pedestal, I

will try to teach something. I do not have time to follow up if you are learning

or not. I don't have time for that. Even Lord Rama said that the world is

unchangeable and unconvincing. If Rama himself says, then what about me? I can

only share my experience. If I cannot help, then I will

explain without any promises. I explain it curtly. If you still follow me, then

I will try to share your grief. I never give false hopes. I even now say - you

all will not become Brahma Jnanis in three days and then walk on the sea. Sorry.

I am speaking all this with some bitterness. These coming three days will be

days of learning.

 

Once, many people were traveling on a boat. There was an astrologer on board.

People flocked around him and asked why the boat was rocking. He calculated and

said that there was a great sinner aboard. This is the favourite line for many

astrologers. He then divided the population in two portions. The boat rocked to

one side. He decided that the sinner was in that group. He then on continued to

divide till the end. He was then shocked that the boat finally tilted to his

side. Going by his logic, he was the sinner and he was thrown over board. This

analogy carries the meaning that we are not the ones to pass judgments. Why God

does this - is his plan. He is the master family planner.
