“Somebody is writing: “Your walking, sitting and talking, everything is…”
Somebody is writing: “Your walking, sitting and talking, everything is so graceful. I’m enjoying all these things. Is it wrong to enjoy all this?”
(Swamiji answering the question)
I won’t say it is wrong, but I only want to say it’s dangerous. Understand, you are entering into a non-return zone and you may have to join the club, that’s all. See, falling in love with the Master.. Maybe I can use the right word 'rising in love with the Master’ not ‘falling in love’. When you are, when you get deeply connected or feel connected, whatever he does looks graceful. For some people, who are constantly judging, for them it will look very silly. But people who feel connected, for them it’ll look, look very graceful. One danger - the moment you start feeling graceful, one danger with that is that you have to join the club.
(Swamiji reading a question from a participant)
“Is it selfish on our part to become your disciples and expect you to help us when we are in ill-health or in trouble?”
(Swamiji answering the question)
No-no. That’s no way selfishness. Understand. Taking help from the Master is directly actually taking help from the Superconsciousness, which is source from, source of you. So, it is in no way selfish. It is no way... Selfishness and this has nothing to do with it. You see, if you take help from somebody who also has an individual self - boundary - then it is selfishness, because if you take, it’ll reduce with him. But the person who doesn’t have boundary, who is ocean, if you take little water from ocean, can you call yourself as selfish? No. I don’t lose anything by sharing with you. So, you can't call yourself as selfish. Actually, I don’t lose anything. I’m very practical. Whatever I am giving and sharing, I don’t lose. It’s only multiplying, it’s only growing.
