In plain words
It comes after some months, or some years, or else after some yugas. You sowed a seed in the ground. Did the plant come up at once? It did not. The plant takes three days' time to come up. It takes some years to become a tree. It takes some years to bear fruit. So time is every thing. Don't waste time. Time waste is life waste. See that you do not misuse time. We must use time well. That itself is God's rule. You may have no rule, but God does all His work by rule. Ruchir Desai spoke of it. What did the warden do? He was looking into what should be done for the wedding of the daughter of a man who works in the Hostel. Though he had not said that his daughter was getting married, I knew it. I did not go that way. I turned this way, went inside, brought saris and gave them. Our warden Narasimhamurthy spoke up. "Can they wear saris that cost five or six thousand rupees?" he said. Sir, there are none who wear them because there is none to give; when there is someone to give, there are plenty to wear them. Give them away. A wedding comes once in a Life. They accepted that gift. "This is our good fortune. Swāmi has given such a big, costly sari!" they said, and were overjoyed. My discipline is that strict in every small matter. No one can understand my discipline. The discipline in my speech, the discipline in my walk, the discipline in my bhajan: no one has understood it so far. People think Swāmi does everything in the way of the world. They think Swāmi expects everything in the way of the world. I have no worldly desires at all. Believe it or not. From foot to head, all positive. no negative. But things are done for your sake. People come saying, "Swāmi, we want to do poor feeding." What is poor feeding? Why not say Feeding of poor? Poor feeding means serving little food, you see. No: the negative is right there in those words. Negative words never come to me. If they are fed one day at Ugādi, what will they eat on the other days? Feed those who come every day; that is a joy. Mine is so big a heart. My heart is expansion love.
