________________ Dadashri: Museums are always like that. But when the law is such that you cannot take anything with you, then what? Do you have a custom of taking things away with you in your town? Questioner: No. Dadashri: Then why do you fret and worry in this way? Simply see and know joovo aney jaano ! When the Alphonso mango arrives, enjoy it at leisure. Enjoy them. There is no problem.

But are you able to take anything with you even if you, 'mine, mine?' Has anyone been able to do this? Questioner: No, no one has so far. Dadashri: So if there is no allowance and agreement of taking anything with you, then why this unnecessary hassle? So do not take anything from this museum of the world even if you like it a lot. If you do,
