True State of a Siddha Purusha

A true Gnani attempts to transform you from your very roots. He does not stand to gain anything from you. His task is to transform you. Spirituality does not feed your desires. Spirituality uproots your desires.

I should not give you something just because you ask for it. Like a mother who spanks her child for trying to catch hold of a scorpion, a Mahaan advises you, diverts your attention from bad to good; if necessary, he will take you to the right path by force.

All and sundry cannot do this for you. If someone’s interest is your money, he will predict that it is your good time, or praise you to the skies or scare you.

I do not indulge in any of these pranks, because there is nothing I want. Someone brings me food; I eat. If not, I will fast. It does not make any difference to me. I do not have any craving or yearning.

What makes you think your spiritual pursuit is outside of the purview of life? Spirituality is part of life; it is not something outside life.
