Aptavani-6
Dadashri: There is no equivalent status as 'this one. This status is considered a unique and unparalleled state (ajod). The scripture writers have called this an unparalleled state.
with greater intellect (buddhi)?
Dadashri: No, but the one with the lesser intellect will naturally not make fun of others, will he?
Someone may have a very funny walk and you laugh at him. Hey you! Why are you making fun of him? God within him has understood and taken note of everything. He has taken note that you have just laughed at Him. You laughed at God mockingly. Your condition will become like that too. That is the law of nature. So avoid such results.
Questioner: I end up making fun of important people.
Dadashri: You just found out that it is wrong to make fun of others, whereas I knew it when I was young, but even then the fun-making continued for almost eight to ten years. You will be able to get rid of it very quickly.
Still, there is nothing wrong in making fun where no one gets hurt and everyone gets joy out of it. That is called innocent fun. 'We still continue making that kind of fun because the root of it (the habit of making fun) does not go away, does it? But there is only innocence in it.
The Gnani Purush Becomes a Disciple
Questioner: How is it that you get along well with such little children?
If 'we' meet someone in the train, and he does not know that I am a Gnani, even then I will set a pulley' of 'I am a passenger.'
If someone with our status were to come here, I would become his disciple. I have decided from the beginning to become a disciple of everyone. So he will not have any difficulty. He who becomes a disciple may become a guru in the next life, so tread carefully with awareness in such situations. Therefore, do not become a guru. And what do I gain from becoming that person's disciple? I may become his guru! If he has any problems, he will have to come and ask.
Questioner: I did not quite get that, Dada!
Dadashri: A relationship is established when I become his disciple. So then he will come back to 'me' as a disciple. Had I not become his disciple, he would not have come to *me and taken advantage of My presence.
The Worldly Life is a Drama
Worldly relations by nature are prone to fall and end (chyuta), and You are not subject to fall (achyuta) from your real status and come to an end. There is no telling when worldly relationships will come to an end or break.
Dadashri: 'We keep at hand a set of counter-pulleys. "We have so many such sets that whatever kind of person comes here, 'we' immediately apply an appropriate counterpulley. So if a small toddler comes along and does 'Jai Jai' to *us,' then I have to communicate with him, do I not? No child ever has any fear when he sees me.
Questioner: They are like that. I have experienced that.
Dadashri: You too have experienced that? The nature of your relationship with your mother too is prone to end?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: All relationships are prone to end by their very nature (chyuta) but you have to keep this to yourself. As far as
Questioner: What do you do when someone of the same status as You comes here?
