In English
There is one other thing that we have to recognise and take note of. We know that and were living together for well over eighty years, were meeting each other very often and talking to each other like friends. But at no time in those eighty odd years did Lord ever try to teach anything of the to . It was only after eighty years of their living together and that, too, in the battlefield, and that again under some special circumstances, that the Lord wanted to give him the contents of the and give a position of authority and competence from where he could do something. We have to enquire into the meaning of all these things. In the , He has also taught that we have to recognise what is called , or worthy of being entrusted with a task. He has also taught us that unless one acquires the qualification, merit and worth, there is no point in teaching the to him. Conveying the contents of the to someone who does not deserve it and who has not yet acquired that merit has no meaning. We know that it is only the hungry man who has the right to ask for food. It is only the man who has the money that has the right to spend that money. It is only the man that is poor and needy and deserving of charity, that is to be given such help. In this way, each individual gets the right to do something. The recognition of this right or qualification, before action is initiated, is an aspect which is contained in the . The Lord has shown in the that you could preach only after recognising the merit or qualification and worthiness of the recipient. It is explicit that there is no point in teaching such a good thing to one who has no belief. You must see whether he has faith and belief or not. You must also see that the recipient has fear of sin and reverence for God. Unless he has these qualities, the recipient has no right to receive the good and great teaching that is contained in the . Not only that, your teaching may become irrelevant if you go and teach one who has not got these qualities.
