There is a difference between the great enlightened Sadhu making one perform a task and someone else making one do something. Since, in the work the great Sadhu makes one do, he does not let one become attached to it and does not let it go to one’s head. He continually denounces it. Whereas that which another makes one do accumulates in one’s heart, and when one is free, one still thinks of it (the task). So, within, there is confusion. While one does some tasks everyone shows much affection, but if unknowingly something wrong is done, then the blame is put on one’s head. But the great make one perform tasks in the way a goat is fed while it is kept before a lion, with the result that it does not gain weight.1 He does this and in this way there is a difference. But this talk is not understood. Footnotes: 1. 1. Akbar set a challenge to his kingdom’s farmers that they should feed his goats as much grass as possible, but not allow them to gain weight. If they gained weight, the farmers would be punished. Despite their best efforts the farmers could not prevent the goats from gaining weight and so they were punished. They went to Birbal for help. After assessing the situation, Birbal fed the goats and then took them to a ferocious lion which was in a cage. The frightening roar of the lion caused diarrhoea in the goats. So whatever they had eaten was passed out. In this way, the goats were fully fed everyday and then brought before the lion and their weight did not increase. Similarly, the great Sadhu engages people in activities, but watches over them like a lion to ensure they do not become attached to the activities.
