________________ Questioner: Everyone has a desire to be something, and here, around you, the desire not be anything arises, one wants to be free from any semblance of superiority visheshata . In the worldly interactions, the feels, 'I am something. And I want to be something.' Dadashri: That is because they enter a racecourse there, do they not? He wants to run because so many other horses are running. Hey you! You are sick so why don't you relax and take it easy? They are strong horses, besides only the one who comes first will get the prize and the rest will die huffing and puffing. So not even a fool will enter a competition, race course. Yes if they were going to award two hundred to five hundred prizes, then one can believe that one may get a prize. But you are not going to come first, then why are you in the competition? Go home and go to sleep. Who would enter the competition? How can you enter into their racecourse? Some horse may be so strong, eating garabanzoz. Another is eating grass. Therefore, I did not enter the racecourse of worldly life. That is how I found this Lord within. And the prize goes only to the one who comes first, no? The rest are left wandering around life after life. They die huffing and puffing and gain nothing. How can one a enter a race course of the world with kind of justice? What do you think? Questioner: That is correct. Dadashri: And human nature is to be competitive spardha. Are people competitive spardha? Questioner: Yes they are. That becomes cheap. Dadashri: There is competition in every place. Even at home, if someone who has a tendency to argue comes along, he will start a competition between the husband and wife. If the wife says something, the husband will tell her, 'You be quiet, you did it this way and I am going to do it this way...' Hey! Both the horses started running? Who is going to give you the prize? That is why 'we' say, "We do not know how to do things the way Hiraba knows.' So 'we' let her run. Run. Run
