and devotees
Many bemoan the fact that does not speak to them despite their frequent visits. "Is angry with us?" they ask. These are not mental aberrations. They are due to total ignorance. Such questions arise in their minds only when they have not understood 's real nature. I have no antipathy towards anyone. I do not hate anyone. All are mine. And I belong to everybody. But in dealing with devotees, I have to behave like a doctor who prescribes a specific diet for each patient. For instance, there is a patient suffering from diabetes. He should not consume sweets. If a devotee feels, "I enjoy sweets, why should the Mother prohibit me from eating sweets?", the answer is that it is for his own good. If did not have the patient's well-being in view, He would let him suffer by giving him sweets. It is out of love for the devotee that the Mother denies sweets to him. adopts these different regimens in the interest of curing the devotees' ailments. There are others with a different kind of grievance. For instance, the students often complain that does not talk to them because He is angry with them. I have no anger towards anyone. Whether you believe it or not, I do not know what anger means. But, occasionally I appear as if I am very angry. This is unavoidable because without such assumed behaviour on my part, the students will not heed my words. I tell them to behave in a certain way. Some students heed my words and try to act upto them. Some others go against my injunctions. In such a situation, I have to ensure respect for my words. Of what use is it to speak to those who attach no value to my words? I don't intend to devalue my words. Truth is the life of the plighted word. My words bear the imprint of truth. I cannot depart from truth. I don't speak to those who attach no value to My words. This should be realised by those who complain that does not talk to them. When people heed My words, I am ready to help them in every way and confer happiness on them. I do nothing for my own sake. This is My truth.
