fortune is signifying superior somewhere, is it an attribute of the disciple or gurudev's blessing? If we assume fortune as water, then Gurudev is the reservoir and disciple is the water tap! When a person is in search of enormous requirement, it's wiser to depend directly on the reservoir, than on the tap! Hence, it's an inevitable matter, that you only should place your step ahead...!
My goodness, when we people quarrel to grasp the credit for every smallest of success, these luminaries are discussing so long to offer the credit mutually! I'm not at all worthy to decide whether whose fortune was more superior between the two, but I can surely claim that the Shravak who had received the opportunity to witness this sacred scene were surely fortunate! Pratapsuri Maharaj seemed to be in the climax of intractability today and wasn't interested in presenting a counterblast to his disciple's argument! He simply fired the momentum to Dharmasuri Maharaj, "I'm, not at all interested to discuss ahead on this subject. Till now, I was just showing
my desire, but now I command that you have to surely put your step forward, outside the door!" When the desire had transformed into a command, Dharmasuri Maharaj had no option except implementing it. Although he wasn't willing, he had to place his fortunate foot step outside the entrance, before his Gurudev does!
And it's not require to say that the ceremony turned out to be a super - successful event as it crossed the limits of the temple's requirement and accumulated funds which could become useful for the future maintenance and service!
Here, there are two points. Where on one side you find the gurudev's incredible generosity, on the other side you notice the disciple's magnificent modesty. Do you think I should make the mistake of figuring out which is superior between the two? Should I reach to any conclusion? No... Not at all! Its better I close my eyes, fold my hands and invocate my majesty to nurture the qualities of both these dignitaries of my tradition in me!
