#107, Remorse at not having reaped any appreciable results by serving the Sadhus
Swamijis (Monks and heads of monasteries) and Sethjis (Rich Merchants) have an affinity comparable to iron plates and horse shoe magnets. The moment an iron plate finds a magnet, it gets stuck up to it. There is some symbiosis between Swamijis and Sethjis. Sethjis want solutions to their material problems. Swamijis promise to solve them with their spiritual solutions. Both ignore that material problems need material solutions. . A hope is created in the minds of Sethjis. The Sethjis in anticipation meet all the material needs of Swamijis. If fortunately 50% of the problems of the Sethjis are solved, the Sethjis build a life-long devotion to the Swamijis. They go to any extent to satisfy the Swamijis and benefit more. SETHJIs WHO HOSTED SWAMIJI 1. Delhi : Shri Seth Shyamaldas. 2. Mumbai (Bombay) : : Shri Seth Ramdas Chebildas. 3.
