Swami said, “One may inspire satsang to a hundred thousand people, yet he himself goes to narak. The reason is that the liberation of the jiva was granted by God. This is similar to a check written by an agent of a wealthy banker being accepted.”1 Footnotes: 1. 1. A wealthy banker’s clerk may write a check, which will be accepted not because of the clerk’s disposition but because of the wealthy banker’s financial backing. Similarly, without following God’s and guru’s command and abiding by their wishes, a devotee many inspire satsang in many people, but the liberation of the people is due to God’s grace, not the strength of the devotee.
