What fault is it of poor Hiraba? She too realized she was wrong. Although the girls used to come to satsang, she was one hundred percent convinced that I was morally upright and sincere, but she told me to stop because it looked bad to others. Is it possible to leave this role of the Gnani even if I wanted to? This is all vyavasthit and she said it out of lack of understanding. Is it even possible to do? Besides can this 'railway' line - this path of Akram Vignan - be just plucked up and removed? Therefore, I had to find a solution; an ordinary 'cork' would not have worked, I had to look for a 'cork' that could be screwed on so tight that it would never come off!
Questioner: The acting you did, is that not considered deceit kapat?
Dadashri: No. there is no deceit-kapat in it. There is no deceit in removing heat from under the milk when it is about to boil over. Is there deceit in that?
Questioner: But the aim was to do something good, is it not?
Dadashri: It was to cleanse her. Everyone sitting around was stunned. Besides I would only assail her reputation in the presence of others, otherwise I would not even attempt it; it would not have any affect on her. Otherwise she would swallow the insult. She will think, 'Oh! No one was present!' She would have just swallowed it and my effort would have gone to waste.
Hiraba had the experience and knew that I was moral and sincere. It was only in this one case that her mind became poisoned and it became a little difficult to remove the impurity. The impurity did not come out by gentle words and so I had to resort to this other method. Further more this remedy was such that whenever Hiraba went to do something, she would say, 'Do not do that. We must not interfere in what he is doing. He is very strict. He is just like Mahadevji (referring to the angry form of Lord Shiva)." This big an impression I left on her. Hiraba says, 'Even now he is like a hot chilli pepper!"
It is not easy to be Gnani and take it easy. If a sprout like this were to germinate in someone, He would remove that sprout from its very roots otherwise, it would grow into trees! The women then used to tell Hiraba, 'Do not say anything. You should not say anything.' I reassured Hiraba, 'I am not going to do anything. Who is going to anything to Dada? What are
