'I make [other) living beings happy and unhappy. I bind and set them free. Such deluded conviction of yours is (spiritually] futile and, in reality, is erroneous. [266]
If [other] living beings get Kārmika bondage due to Adhyavasāna and get released from Karma by staying on the path of liberation, then what is your role? [267] Annotation
Before coming to the main point, I would like to share an experience. Long back, one of my close acquaintances Mr Dayachand (name changed) casually mentioned, “I made Dr. Mogra (name changed) as Professor. He became professor because of me.”
Prof. Mogra was a well known reputed professor in the university. I was surprised by this remark of Dayachand. I asked him, "How?” He calmly replied, “Sir, I was the chief clerk in the process of his recruitment. I devoted a lot of time in the process of advertisement of the vacancy and in receiving and processing his application for the job. I was the person who typed his interview letter and many other letters to the members of the selection committee. I typed his appointment letter. During the process of recruitment I did various kinds of paper work at every stage. To complete such tasks in the minimum time, as desired by my boss, I had to work in the office till 10 PM on many occasions. How can I forget this hard work and pain that resulted into the recruitment of Prof. Mogra?”
