Reasons why someone must trust you?

You must understand that I think about you all the time. Even you do not think about you any time.

 I do not have any relatives in the world nor any property or wealth to hold on to. All the time I am thinking about you, the organization and what next. I pay attention to every small detail. There are times I may chide some persons. But I do not harbour dislike for anyone nor do I nurture anger. My sole intention is your welfare; I do everything to mould you. If you contemplate, with maturity of thought, on everything that has happened to you, you will understand how much effort Baba has put in to mould you. You had so many weaknesses, and my contribution to your personality is phenomenal. You will not understand it now, but will, when you get the results.

I dedicate total care to everything. I place myself in the shoes of every individual who comes to me. I visualize myself at his emotional level. I do not have any particular emotion of my own. I analyze what he needs. You can say I act according to the age group of every individual. I do this all the time but it is not for myself. Imagine how much earnest and conscientious activity is needed to bring up such an institution, and single- handedly. Think about this and only then you will understand.

 I can be like any other head of institution, sitting right royally and claiming ownership for everything that turns out right. But at some stage, there will be a communication gap. In our institution, there is no opportunity for any communication gap. I know every single thing that happens here. You yourself know how I handle individuals. Right from welcoming persons to arranging a birthday gift for a child, how fast I arrange things. I plan every single thing very meticulously.

 I do not get easily tired, and am capable of tremendous hard work. And I work without any expectation. You are unable to express your love for your immediate family members, and this results in frequent bickering, whereas I am able to love everyone without any disparity, and without any attachment.

I have no selfish motives. I work for God and I work for you because you are His children. This selflessness is absent in you. But I am selfless. I am impartial. I assess you on the basis of the values you uphold in life, not on the basis of who you are. I am neither impressed by praise nor offended by criticism. I have gone beyond wants. I am the only person who shows you the way to worship and also gives you the worship materials free of cost.

My jovial approach is an effort to confuse you. If you run away in doubt, only you stand to lose. I do not need anyone who doubts me.

 My Endeavour is to try converting pebbles into pearls. I will therefore continue dealing tests to you, to strengthen you, to fortify you against all the worldly inanities.

 Just remember that whatever I do is for your good only. It is in your own interests that you face those tests and attempt them diligently and sincerely, and not run away.

 And if you hold on to me, you stand to benefit in all ways; I do not, in any way.
