It was Sankaracharyaji and now it is Sant Sri Asaramji Bapu – some ordinary thing is taken up and without getting to the root of the matter and searching for the truth, it is the propagated to disgrace their name. It is highly unfortunate. It should also be taken into account as to how many as to how many poor people have been helped by the Asaram, how many have been benefited by the distribution of food, and to many students thousands and lakhs of notebooks have been distributed. Many time he asked me to accompany him to distribute sweetmeats, books, etc in the tribal areas. He wanted to get some books distributed by me. See, how much society has benefited from him, how much support has been given to life – all this has been completely ignored. Even this should be taken into account. Our own people join hand with the media and everything is magnified.
If one is committed to look at the faults alone, one can fined thousands of faults in a great soul, you or me, or even in God.
Look how much Bapuji Has mortified himself for the sake of society! How much contribution he has given to the society! How much life he has infused into society! Why don’t you enquire into the benefits that thousands and lakhs are deriving from him? What is being done to such a saint is not good for Gujarat, not for India. Ramayana has it the punishment for sinning against a saint is instant, delayed for some time. The fruit of satsanga that it ‘gives instant benefits’ instantly not after one or two or five years. Similarly, it is said about sinning against a saint.
‘O Parvati! Listen. Disrespect to a saint destroys all changes of good.’
So this is extremely harmful, and in my opinion, only he who himself is a true saint can decide who a true saint and who is a hypocrite. If somebody says that a saint should not have this or that attribute, or he should not do this or that thing… if you know what kind of attributes a saint should have or what a saint, is then first become a saint yourself. One who knows the definition of a saint will himself become a great saint. So one who says, ‘a saint should have this quality, he should not have that attribute; is only indulging in intellectual jugglery. And when politicians or other with vested interests join the fray, they fail to see a true saint blinded as they are by the veil of selfishness!!! What a deplorable fact! A saint will forgive. Electronic media which is being watched and listened to bye crores should side with the truth; it should worship the truth.
This is clearly a conspiracy to divide the country. There may foreign elements involved in it; that is why it has become possible. It is definitely a conspiracy, and it will be goods for us to awaken our people this subject lest they lose faith in their Dharma, their scriptures and their Gurus. Otherwise they will be deprived of the vital keys which they get from some saint which make their lives accomplished! To that end we go to satsanga etc. If lose faith in that, how can we succeed? It looks like it will harm the saints (or the faith that people have in the saints will be destroyed) but in the ultimate analysis, it will be the ones who are conspiring against the saint and Sanatana Dharma, who will meet with destruction. God himself descendants of Sanatana Dharma. There is the description in Srimad Bhagwat of an incident when Ashwatthama fired the Brahmastra to kill Parikshit, the only descendants of the Pandavas, and Lord Krishna saved him. The lord saves the descendants of the Sanatana Dharma destruction. Those who are bent upon destroying it will themselves be destroyed. But we should not remain inactive. Our inactive is the case of the punishment we suffer. It is not the activity of wicked people that is dangerous for us; it is our own inactivity that is so. (Don’t be passive. Fight bad publicity with good publicity. Make efforts to get justice)
The biggest question is that how come all these things are coming up together now? Why are all those people who are alleging that injustice was being meted out to then ten years ago, now saying so? Those who are relating an incident which occurred 5 years ago, that such and such a thing had happened in his ashram or such and such an incident took place ten years ago; why didn’t they say so at the time? Well! There sure is some thing behind all this. After that single incident of those two children, which sure was a tragic event, everyone jumped into the fray. This is because there is somebody who is supporting them from behind; which mean it is a conspiracy no doubt.
Take any person; there will definitely be some people who are displeased with him, and it can be any saint or great soul. Today, for instance you or me – is everyone pleased with us? Some person may desire a certain position, and if we don’t give it, he will surely nurture hatred in his mind. If one doesn’t get the desired job or positioning the ashram he gets displeased, and displeased people will concoct any tale when it to be understood here is that it is only a reflection of his displeasure. When people see that their desires are not fulfilled, they seek some opportunity to trouble or defame others.
