Q      Most of the devotees talk of instances where you have rushed to their rescue. But those devotees who have been in regular sathsangh with you have not had their problems cleared totally. Why?

This is an exercise to give them better things and greater blessings in life. It is to help them attain equanimity. You might assume it worthwhile to get over your petty problems. But my aim is to make you wiser and elevate you spiritually using these problems as your stepping-stones and grant you greater boons. Spirituality is all about retaining pearls and gems. If I grant small boons to people, they might go away contented with what little I give them. I have given you so many instances about fickle-minded persons who have obtained benefits but never looked back; they lose the opportunity of self-realization, which is the main purpose of Samratchana.

This is a psychological drama staged for your own good, to test you and give you something that cannot be given by anyone else, and is very good for you ultimately. That is the only Ultimate Good too
