Dear Maharaja, Pamho, AgtSP.

 

Sorry for not sending the full text. Here follow the rest:

We also stopped eating, and our whole camp began fasting. Then a local

gentleman who came to know that the whole camp was fasting managed to find

the blasphemous priest and bring him to our guru maharaj. That priest

begged to be pardoned. Our guru maharaj was satisfied and, after showing

him some respect, finally broke his fast. At that time someone told our

guru maharaj, "They are all ignorant fools. Why should you be so much

affected by his words? You should ignore it." Our guru maharaj said, "If I

were an ordinary babaji and heard such a remark, I could simply cover my

ears and go away. But I am playing the part of an acharya, one who teaches

by example. What justification do I have for riding in a motorcar if I do

not oppose the remarks against my gurudeva?"

 

Repeatedly he used this expression: "Why am I driving a motorcar here in

Vrndavana?" he said, "Had I been a niskincana babaji, a saint living in

seclusion and wearing only a loincloth, I would have given no opposition to

this man. To save myself, I would simply leave the place and go elsewhere.

But because I am riding in a big motorcar in the post of an acharya, a

teacher, I must defend the dignity of the great devotees. I have accepted

this charge and can't evade these circumstances. I must face it and do

everything in my power that such things may not go on undetected or

unopposed."

 

[This ends the story.]

I hope this is of some help.
