Maharshi's Gospel: Guru and His Grace 9

[Guest guest]

Disciple: Is it not to obtain the guru's grace that presents are offered to

him? So the visitors offer presents to Bhagavan.

 

Maharshi: Why do they bring presents? Do I want them? Even if I refuse, they

thrust presents on me! What for? Is it not like giving a bait to catch a

fish? Is the angler anxious to feed them? No, he is anxious to feed on the

fish!
