Aptavani-4
man. To me, ‘ordinary' meant being like some sort of vegetable. An extraordinary person is not faced with the difficulties that an ordinary human faces. An ordinary man cannot help anyone; whereas an extraordinary human exists only to help others. That is why the world accepts him.
Questioner: How do we define an extraordinary man?
Dadashri: Extraordinary means that one becomes helpful to everyone; to every living being of this world. When one becomes independent (free), when one transcends the prakruti (the non-Self complex), one becomes extraordinary. An ordinary human will experience helplessness. He will be helpless if you keep him hungry for three days. So, become extraordinary and then there will be no end to the bliss within.
When you see an important person, it will develop an inferiority complex within you. You are bedazzled by him. Why are you bedazzled when he is just an ordinary person himself?
There is no need for anyone to be afraid of anything in the world if he becomes nikhalas. Such a person will be “automatically protected. No one can destroy such a person. After attaining the knowledge of the Self there will arise an absolute state, and no one will be able to hurt or destroy You; no one will even bother You.
