just that, this is all one has done. All he needs is a handful of people to blow the horn, create the publicity and things will start to roll. A person does not realize the consequences of doing this. It will be great if he becomes free in this life but that only happens if he understands all this. Otherwise, intense greed lalacha for being worshipped and revered, will not allow him to attain liberation.
Questioner: But what are the consequences of gathering people and 'blowing your own horn'and becoming a Gnani?
Dadashri: That is nothing but a ravaging fire! A life in hell! He experiences a life in hell and then returns here to the same old thing. Intense greed lalacha that exists will not go away, will it? He will change a little in the presence of a Gnani Purush.
Not even a moth will hover (bother) around you if you have no intense greed lalacha. A man without intense greed lalacha for reverence is the king of the world. And the one with such greed, will achieve nothing, no matter how hard he tries.
Intense greed lalacha can stay alive and get stronger only if one promotes it from within. Then you have to do pratikraman. You should say to the relative self, 'Chandulal, you should not go there again.'
You may have a strong desire to become free from the neeed to be worshipped and respected, but this intense greed lalacha will obstruct you. If you keep this in mind to eradicate it, just as one keeps in mind an external enemy, then you will be able to do that. Otherwise it is not easy to get rid of this desire to be worshipped..
Questioner: This intense greed lalacha is a dangerous disease!
Dadashri: It is a disease that has prevailed from countless past lives. This makes him wants others to listen and follow him. He is filled with, “how can I make then listen and follow me?' From the moment he sees a mango on the tree, somewithin starts strring too.
Questioner: Some people are such that they want to be the center of attention in a group of a hundered, no matter what it takes.
