You have taken a lot of beating and suffered for countless lives and yet the intense greed lalacha within does not you go. If after coming here to the Gnani Purush you cannot take care of this problem, what good does it do?
The speech of the Gnani Purush is vitarag - free from all attachment and abhorrence. So the lashings one gets from this vitarag speech will hurt a lot; these lashings are very effective. It brings about a tremendous change from within which is not evident externally.
The main attribute of intense greed lalacha at work is such that it will completely disregard even the words of the Gnani Purush. It will crush the Gnani's words and discard them. Intense greed lalacha! The ego in the form of intense greed lalacha in people will not break. When 'we' give Gnan, this particular ego does not break; this part remains alive. That is what puts people in such a grave danger life after life.
