Therefore, this point is critically important to understand, no? You can never predict how life will unfold in front of you. Such weaknesses must be fractured by all means, no?
When forces which break the goal arise, what can happen there? Do you know what a tiny mistake that you cannot spot, can do? It can totally delude you. Once deluded, what huge mistakes one commits! The raging ego then takes over.
Therefore, one should not try to listen in on someone's private conversation, "What were they saying about me?' And why the interest in this? It is because of one's own deceit-kapat. Deceit will never ever help you, not even a tiny bit. And if someone brings you some spicy talk that he has heard about you, that person becomes close and dear to you.
Questioner: What can we say about the messenger?
Dadashri: You should not let him touch-affect You at all.
Questioner: No, I meant to ask, just as we say that it is deceitful to listen in, what is the inner state of the person who brings the message of the conversation secretly?
Dadashri: The messenger is interested in creating a rift between these two. He is deeply rooted in the pleasure this creates for him.
Questioner: That verily is his deceit too, no?
Dadashri: Yes, it is all deceit-kapat too! He is searching for a certain pleasure in this. He has an interest in it.
Questioner: Looking for a certain pleasure...falls under deceit?
Dadashri: What else would be there, then? A person should have a fragrance that people admire. Fragrance! People would admire, ‘such an honorable gentleman, we can not say enough good things about him!' Such fragrance spreads.
