There are many types of people in this Satsang and mandir. Of them, some are internal enemies, some are like cousins who cause division and demand a share in the property, some are like daily wage earners, some are like working partners, some are like guests, some are like relatives, some are like sons and some are like owners. There are these differences among the people.1 Footnotes: 1. 1. The different types of people who live in the mandir are: a. Like enemies: if the mandir’s work is being spoilt he lets it happen; he even spoils good work and attempts to make others act like him. b. Like distant relatives: they use the facilities of the mandir, cause splits and demand rights. c. Like labourers: work only for a fixed time. When the time is up, even unfinished work is left behind and they go away. d. Like companions: help for an extended period, but first take care of their own needs. e. Like guests: not bothered whether the mandir benefits or suffers. They do not participate in any activities of the mandir. f. Like relatives: are pained to see the damage to the mandir. Will scold others for it, but will not attempt to solve problems through their own initiative. g. Like sons: will stay awake to help the seniors of the mandir. h. Like owners: will sacrifice one’s life for the mandir’s cause.
