will we run against? However, then people will say, 'then run with older people and so I tell them but I can't even run with people older than myself and really I don't know anything else.' What are we going to do with this akkal incompetent intellect; intellect that one can even rent?
You can hire experts from anywhere. If you ask someone what is he an expert of, he will say, ‘of income tax’. He will be for hire, the doctors are for hire, the lawyers are on hire, everything and everyone is for hire!
Every man is expert in his field and occupation and incompetent in others. I am better off. Instead of calling myself expert in something, I say 'I am incompetent babuchak in everything' A person can be the best solicitor in India but in certain matters he will say, 'For this you will have to go to someone else. One is a famous doctor but will come to us when he wants his home built, however the poor man is modest. It is because he has no clue about the construction matters. That is how the world is. They are incompetent in other matters. No one person can be good in everything. Would you not be considered incompetent at something? So why not be incompetent in everything? Do you not understand? Instead of calling yourself a banker with assets of as little as a thousand dollars why not say I am a banker, you are. Is this discovery of 'our' appealing.
I asked one person, 'How are you going to run your factory now that your boss has died?' He tells me, 'We will hire a manger'. So one can hire people to manage factories? So why are you crying because the owner is dead? If you can hire such a person, hire such an intelligent person, why not do that? And can this (Gnan) be hired? This is the true wealth. You can hire people can't you? You can hire a lawyer, can you not? If he charges 5000 rupees, then why not give him 10, 000? He will come running. He can be hired but the Self cannot be hired. And is anyone going to hire the Self? How can they afford that which is priceless? This is a proper and easy road, is it not?
And why harbor such akkal intellect in such matters? So 'we' have let go from the very beginning in these matters, and told everyone, 'I do not understand anything!' so 'we' am free! I also say, 'you will not find any intellect in me even if you were to look for it'. They tell me, please don't say that.'
