Evolution of Love 2

NO HEAD-ADVAITA

Mother used to teach different ways of sadhana to different people. She would, however, give prominence to jnana marga, the path of Self-inquiry.

One of Her first devotees, after having received his first lessons, went to the Himalayas and on his return said, “I am He, who will practice and what?” When this reached Mother’s ears She sent for him and took him to task for trying to pass for a realized soul and thereby defraud people. Mother would never tolerate any of Her devotees trying to pass for a jnani and would at once expose them.

She used to say, “Nowadays sadhus read a few pages from the standard authors, commit to memory some verses, and with this stock-in-trade start a campaign for making disciples. There is no hope for such cheats.”
