" You may, as the Guru, point out that that is the door, but as soon as you have pointed it out, your job is over. Then I have to work, then I have to find out what to do, how to live, how to think, how to feel this way of living in which there is no suffering. Swamiji (Swami Venkatesananda): Then to that extent the helping, the pointing out, is justified. Krishnaji: Not justified, but you do it naturally. Swamiji: Supposing the other man gets stuck somewhere, that as he proceeds, in going there he knocks against this table.... Krishnaji: He must learn that the table is there. He must learn that when he is going towards the door there is an obstacle in the way. If he is enquiring, he will find out. But if you come along and say, " There is the door, there is the table, don't knock against it " , you are treating him just like a child, leading him to the door. There is no meaning to it. Swamiji: So that much of help, the pointing out, is justified. Krishnaji: Any decent man with a decent heart will say, Don't go there, there is a precipice.
