WHAT DOES A SADHU DO ?
Small pieces of iron sink into the water but if a large ship is made of iron and other metals it floats on water. This is what a sadhu does. A sadhu converts your life into a boat and helps it to cross the ocean of samsar. He saves you from spiritual ruin and he does not allow calamities to occur in your life. He builds up your life by means of scriptural knowledge.
But if you approach Sadhus with arrogance you will not get anything. A man who is egoistic cannot attain anything. If you approach the Paramatma with humility you will attain sublimity. You approach me with a humble desire to acquire knowledge. I will answer all your questions and problems.
You should be humble and polite. You should discard your arrogance. If arrogance appears, ignorance also appears at once.
Arrogance brings about ignorance Humility brings about sublimity Knowledge sends out its radiance And fills our souls with high felicity
