________________ 84 Science of Money Science of Money 85 you? Your brain becomes very powerful. Not even the top judges have such a brain. (283) Shrimad Rajchandra has said that one should serve a Gnani with his mind, body and wealth. Someone asked him what use would a Gnani have for wealth; a Gnani has no need for anything in this world. The answer to this is that giving money where the Gnani directs makes one free from the Gordian knot of greed. Otherwise the greedy person's chit hovers around money life after life. welcomes you with profuse greetings is in fact making a pre payment to you before cheating you. That is why it has been written about the Gnani as one who will allow himself to be cheated by the greedy. This is because my sole desire is moksha. I have not come here to accumulate wealth. And I also know the ultimate reason for a person being cheated and for a person to cheat someone. I know about this, and therefore it does not matter. I have not been conned because of my naivety. I am fully aware when people are cheating me. I deliberately allow them to do so. Foolish are those who get cheated because of their naivety. Do you think that I am naïve? Those who deliberately allow themselves to be cheated, would you call them naive?(282) My business partner Kantibhai once told me that people took advantage of my naive nature. I told him that because he is calling me naive means that he himself is naive. I deliberately allow other people to cheat me. He then told me that he would never make such a comment again. I understand what the other person's intentions are like, I am aware of what his intellect is like so I let the poor fellow go. I have come here in order to become free form all kashayas. I allow myself to be cheated in order to prevent kashayas and that is why I let them do it again and again. Is there not fun in deliberately allowing yourself to be cheated? There are not many people who knowingly allow themselves to be cheated. A man once asked me to get rid of his greed. He said that he had a big tuber of greed within him. I told him greed is not something that you can get rid of. I told him his greed would break naturally when he incurs a big loss. Then he will say he wants nothing to do with money! The tuber of greed will be destroyed through incurring a major loss. This knot of greed will loosen when a loss is incurred. When a person incurs a big loss, his greed will vanish in a hurry. All other tubers, inner junk of negativity will vanish, but not the one of greed. There are two gurus for a greedy person: a trickster and a loss. If a greedy person incurs a loss, the loss will demolish his tuber of greed very quickly. The other guru for the greedy is the swindler and the con artist. They will promise the moon to a greedy person who becomes easily tempted and before you know it all his money is gone. (300) People ask me when they will be able to experience the bliss of the Self in all its glory. I tell them a person can only experience this bliss when he becomes free from all desires. All tubers of greed have to go. The one who has a tuber of greed experiences no happiness whatsoever. So give away everything, whatever you give is yours.(301) From a young age I had maintained the principle of deliberately allowing people to cheat me. It is not possible whatsoever for people to make a fool of me and take advantage of me. What happens when you knowingly allow people to cheat
