People Even Judged the Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan

This happened when Dada was in Vadodara during a satsang. A twenty-five year-old youth came and sat in the back. Dada called him and told him to sit in the front. Thus, the conversation began. Dadashri: Have you read Dada’s books?

Youth: Yes, I have read them.

Dadashri: Which ones?

Youth: Your ‘Afatvani’ (Disastrous speech).

All the mahatmas were offended! But Dada remained natural and spontaneous. Dada did not have a single negative thought for him, and then Dada asked calmly.

Dadashri: Is that so? Fine, what did you do with the books?

Youth: Nothing, they are lying around.

Dadashri: Do one thing, return some of them back if you do not want to read them.

(Then Dada continued doing satsang with the others, but half way through, the youth got up and started to leave.)

Dadashri: Hey, where are you going? Sit!

Youth: I am going home. I do not want to sit.

Dadashri: How can you just leave like that?

Youth: I am not enjoying this, I am leaving.

Dadashri: Fine… go! But, you cannot just leave like that. Leave after you have some tea.

Youth: I do not drink tea.

Dadashri: Then drink milk and then you can leave.

(To the mahatmas in the kitchen…)

Dadashri: Bring some milk with saffron, almonds, and pistachios for him.

Youth: I do not want to drink it.

Dadashri: That will not do. I will not let you leave without drinking anything.

(While talking back and forth, the milk came within five minutes…) Dadashri: You will have to drink it.

Youth: No!

Dadashri: This will not do. If you say no, then all these people will hold your hands and legs and will pour the milk down your mouth. Drink this milk that ‘we’ are giving you with love; it is ‘our’ love.

Youth: Okay, but I will not be able to drink all of it.

(Then Dada poured half of it into a saucer and drank it while the youth drank the other half.)

Dadashri: Yes, take this.

Youth: I will drink this much since you are giving it to me with love. (See, friends! Just like us, the Gnani Purush also gets judged by others. Even then, Dada lovingly fed milk to the one that called His ‘Aptavanis’ (Knowledge laden speech) as ‘Afatvani’ (disastrous speech). This is the kind of positive outlook the Gnani’s have.)
