Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 "I am doing the duty of the guru, but if I preach that no one should shout jaya! to me-that is, if I merely say in a roundabout way, "Sing jaya! to me"-it would be nothing short of duplicity."

Kulapavana Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 the desire to outwardly manifest or proclaim one's humility by requiring his disciples to abolish a standard practice of singing "Jaya so-and-so" can be a manifestation of pride similar to requiring others to sing "Jaya" to us. "I am doing the duty of the guru, but if I preach that no one should shout jaya! to me - that would be, as if I merely said in a roundabout way: "Sing jaya! to me" - that would be nothing short of duplicity."
