________________ Dadashri: That is because he has a habit of being a guru of five or ten. He does do not even know how to be a disciple and he wants to be a guru. Such a person will sit down wherever he finds a customer. It is all because of his intense greed lalacha to enjoy. This is all because he wants to enjoy everything. He does not want to leave out a single thing. Live one life by surrendering to the Gnani That is why I have told you not to leave the oneness of this satsang. One would want to start something on his own. But you will not know anything. People will throw you out. This is not acceptable, how can it be? For how long can a fake tiger last? Would it work if one disguises himself as a tiger? That is why I have told you so that you should not let any such root grow here. You have to spend this life of yours in surrender, do not let go of your dependency on the Gnani Purush. If you attempt to form your own group or crowd, you will have one, but it will harm you as well as the others. One man had gone off on his own and started a 'business' in the name of Dada. He attracted large crowds and conducted satsang. I told him, 'You will pay the price eventually. For how long will you be able to hide under covers?' He would return back to us. He was not obstinate. But the intense greed lalacha would lead him astray again and he would say, "Now I will go and do something', and he was capable of doing that. One time he managed to gather over a thousand people. He could do that because his face was attractive and he had an aura about him. But I cautioned him, 'If you fail in your obedience to Dada, you will go to hell. Where are you going to get the words from? You will to use my words for the people. If you try to use new words, you will spend a life in hell.' Therefore, I have to caution you. There is this intense greed lalacha to move away from Dada in an independent direction. You have now become independent, you are not dependent are you? It would be a different matter if you were suppressed or controlled by me. If is a different matter if you were under the control of those other gurus and you try to be independent. Here no one is suppressed, there is no control over you and I even say, 'I am everyone's disciple', so where is the problem? But because of the habit of endless past lives, one has fun in being independent, there is interest in that. Let go of this interest! Why don't you remain in this satsang only?
