Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Radhe Krishna To All, Devotee: Is it possible to deceive a saint by flattering him? Swami Papa Ramdas: You can deceive a saint easily. It is not necessary even to flatter him. A saint does not doubt other people. Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji Once, a householder came searching for Sridhar ayãvãl to learn about the expiation ceremony to be performed for a sin that he had committed. But, Ayyãvãl ( Sridhar ayãvãl) sent him away to find somebody else for this. The householder asked him the reason for sending him away thus. Sridhar ayãvãl explained, “Everything in the world appears to be ‘Sivaswaroopa’ (very form of Siva). Only if I deem you to be a sinner can I offer any expiation rites for it!†and sent him away. Sri Bhagawan Naama Bodendra Saraswathi Swamigal A single Divine Name is so powerful that one cannot commit as many sins as it can erase even if he were to take a vow to commit only sins.
