keep spruha inclination for You. Even if the poor fellow does anything wrong, 'we' place an inner protection for him. Do you understand?
No complacency in the Gnani
What is another attribute of the Sat Purush?
Questioner: No oonmattata overflowing sense of satisfaction and swelling with pride, in the Gnani.
Dadashri: Yes. What is oonmattata? Do you understand this? I will explain it to you in your language bhasha.
What kind of an ego do people have? If you see a person passing by, he walks in a straight manner. He is spontaneous, natural and is walking along in a very orderly fashion. As he walks back we notice a change in him. His face has a different expression; he appears smug and self-satisfied. You can see that the man has changed; there has been an effect' of some kind on him.
So we say to him, 'Come in, come and have some tea.' We offer him tea, not for his air of superiority but to inquire into his changed disposition. He believes we are offering him tea because of his superior stand. We give him tea and ask him, 'Where did you go?' He will reply smugly, I needed to collect that five thousand rupees from him, now I have them."
He gets five thousand rupees in his pocket and he becomes selfsatisfied oonmatta. He now has the disease of swelling with pride oonmattata. So the 'eggplant' becomes 'tight', otherwise the 'eggplant' will become limp.
Now if a person becomes oonmatta with just five thousand rupees, then as far as the Gnani Purush is concerned, the Lord of three worlds is pleased with Him. So tell me, how much oonmatta' will He be? And yet there is none. Is that not a wonder? But no, that is precisely where true laghutta smaller than the smallest, lies. 'We' are like a little child.
