hardly one who wants to know Me as I am in Myself. They want Me for their purposes". They say: "I want you to come in this form". The Gopis wanted Him in His beautiful form and they wanted Him in that form. Somebody wanted Him as a warrior and a third person wanted Him as a charioteer. But nobody wants God as a God. "What is that You want of Me?" I would like to say that such person who says "What is it that you want of me?" Is a greater disciple and is the best one. That is why in Kathopanishad it is beautifully stated "When my father offers me to Yama, what does Yama want of me?" He has no need of anything in this world. What does He want of me? Of what use my going to Him?" And when he was asked "what you would like to know", he said, "I would like to know what you are in yourself?" Now that is the way of approach. I would like to know Him in his infinite and not in his finite. Our modern religions are inverted. All bhaktas have inverted with very best of intentions. They want God to be in their ways and demand that God should oblige them and His greatness is being made finite. Now, I consider that is reversal of the entire spirituality.
So, I only pray that we should be worthy of the Master and try to know the Master as He is himself and it is not such an impossible thing as some people try to say. It is the most easy thing to know the Master in Himself. But we are very much interested in the relationship of God as between us and Himself rather than the Master.
