reminiscences

The Sadguru alone is the doer and the prime mover of all deeds, we merely serve as  instruments.

There are many persons in Karnataka who seek attainment of God by practising Namasmarana. In order that it may be convenient for them to assemble for worship, it was decided that a place be consecrated by installing ShriMaharaj's podukas* there. ShriMaharaj gave a coin of a rupee to Shri. Huchchurao and directed him to commence the work. Shri. Huchchurao said, ‘Maharaj, building a temple is a huge task. It will require a great deal of money. How can this work possibly be get done through my frail hands? Upon which Shri Maharaj said, 'It will get done as God got a war fought by Arjuna. One should merely serve as an instrument'

* Paduka : ('J^jf) a shoe or a slipper : but popularly clogs or wooden shoes; also an impression of a foot or both feet on stone, worshipped as the trace of some deity or guru.
