Finally, taking hold of the man’s hands, the master lovingly instructed: “Now this beggar feels he should leave you. This beggar will touch these fruits and you can take them as prasadam [Prasad] with you..” Still hold the man’s hand, he started walking the policeman to his car. The honored man followed Bhagavan’s lead without question. Together they walked out to the man’s car where Guru Yogi Ramsuratkumar gave his final blessing, turned abruptly and then came back to his place.

A long line of people awaited the beggar’s darshan at that time, and several of his devotees puzzled as to why the master had spent so much time with this one man, especially considering the nature of the police man’s tedious monologue. “You gave all this respect to this fellow, why?” one of the other asked Bhagavan incredulously.

“Some beggar people come to this beggar for bhakthi; some people come to this beggar for some problem to be solved; and some people expect this beggar to give them some respect. What’s wrong in giving them their due respect?” Yogi Ramsuratkumar countered. The was undoubtedly no the answer his questioner expected. The master then continued, drawing out several principles that underlay his way/God’s way of loving humanity by giving us what we want until we are ready to take what the Divine wants to give us in abundant measure.

“There is nothing this beggar is going to lose,” Yogi Ramsuratkumar continued, his words irritating that place in the human heart where self-righteousness and fear of being taken advantage of is lodged. “They wanted to get some respect from this beggar and this beggar gave them respect. Were is the problem? And if some comes wanting some bhakthi, this beggar is ready to give bhakthi to that fellow. That man came here wanting to get some respect from this beggar and this beggar gave it to him!”
