Reminiscences

ShriMaharaj was once speaking about authority. Say­ing that a sadguru is invariably a saint, that we have no conception of his limitless authority, and that similarly we cannot fathom the extent of his pervasiveness, ShriMaharaj added, 'True that saints are one with God. But there is only one thing that they cannot do. Let any­one behave in any manner towards them, they will not do disservice to him. Not even the thought of doing disser­vice to someone touches a saint's mind. The single and sublime motivation left in their lives being the promotion of welfare of all living beings, there exists in their hearts limitless compassion for the good as well as the bad. On account of this, they do not spurn anyone."
