The Guru and the Disciple
Questioner: So if you attain anything from anyone, is he your guru?
Dadashri: But I do not have time to become a guru. You just remain in the Gnan that I give you and go to moksha from here. How long will you wait to make a guru out of me? There is no need to consider me as your guru. I will not allow the status of guru to be established. If I show you everything all the way to the end, then would there be any problems?
I do not become anybody's guru. What do I want from being a guru? I am a Gnani Purush. What does 'Gnani Purush' mean? It means an observatory! Whatever you want to know, you can know from him. Do you understand?
Questioner: Can a Gnani not become a guru?
Dadashri: Yes. That way everyone is my guru. That is why I have made every living being in the world, my guru. You will have to have a guru, will you not? Everyone has some knowledge, so everyone can be your guru. God Himself will not come here in the relative world). He is not sitting idle that He will go back and forth for you.
I am lower than the lowest
Dadashri: A Gnani will never become anyone's guru. I am laghutam. How can I be a guru? One needs buddhi (intellect) to be a guru and I do not have any buddhi. Does a guru need buddhi or not? I have written in my books that I am abuddha (beyond intellect; not using buddhi despite having it). Nobody in the world has called himself abuddha. I am the only and the first one to do so. I have truly become abuddha. You will not find a drop of buddhi in me. My work gets done without buddhi, does it not?
Thus everyone is a guru
Questioner: In all this, where do you place yourself?
Dadashri: I believe that I am a disciple of the whole world and by nature I am laghutam (lower than the lowest). Besides this state. I do not have any other state. And God. Dada Bhagwan has manifested within.
You only need to change the direction of your ego
Questioner: Currently, in India, are there any other extraordinary human beings like You?
Dadashri: How would I know? You are looking for one so you may come to know. I have not looked for one.
Questioner: You are at the peak so you would be able to see, would you not?
Dadashri: But how would I know if there is a peak higher than the one I am on? What did those who have been to every peak say? They all claim, 'I am the only one that is on the highest peak,' but I have never said that.
Questioner: But can you not see all those that are on peaks lower than yourself?
Dadashri: They appear lower, but they are not considered lower. It is verily the same thing, is it not? This is because the
Do you find justice in this statement? When I say, 'I am everyone's disciple,' do you find justice in that statement?
Questioner: In what way are all these people your guru?
Dadashri: These are all my gurus because I will immediately accept everything they have. They believe they are taking from Dada. I consider every being in this world as my guru, not just the fifty thousand who have taken Gnan from me. Every living being in this world is my guru. Wherever there is any truth (satya); I accept it. If there is a dog passing by, I will accept the dog's truth also. I accept any visheshata (superiority); anything that is more than what I am. Do you understand this?
