should they fear? They think that the poor and the world is theirs. It is not admitted in Shafaqat that people should be merged in God or realized and it is not the rule in Shafaqat. It is also correct that the person will be eligible for liberation, only when his conduct is corrected first. Any amount of upasana and devotion with out conduct is a waste. The common people’s thinking is that the conduct will be corrected with upasana and devotion and it is the experience of some people, that upasana is possible when the conduct and morality is corrected and with out correcting morality, devotion is not possible.
The experience is that if the education or character of the guru is total, it will definitely have the effect on the person who is in his company. Slowly people will correct their habits. Therefore the guru must be in his total form an incarnate and with all his heart be the dharmashastra. Such a one is called guru becoming total. Having more conditions and bliss is not the sign of guru becoming total. If he has only the practice of emotional condition in education, but there is no effect on morality, then that person is incomplete. It is possible that he may make the worldly people fall in a trench and he himself fall in it. If the seeker gets his training in the method of jajb and in company and satsangh, there will be a definite effect on his morality and his habits will improve slowly. When the training method is not of jajb and depended only on assiduous practice, it is also necessary to have Mashaqi along with that. The habits will not be corrected on their own accord with out Mashaqi. There was such an effect in the company of Rev. Guru of Rev. Lalaji Maharaj, that during the training itself, education of character was happening on its own accord along with the conditions and bliss and after few days of the person joining the company, used to become Musharra (detailed annotated with a commentary on exegesis) dharmic incarnate, knowingly or unknowingly. Whether one elder is greater in status than the other is a matter of argument. It is a matter for deep thinking that the greatness in status between the two elders is according to their attributes. Example: the knowledge of one is more than the other or miracles one elder is more than the other. Marfat is called acquaintance/identity. The sharpness of the knowledge of any person is according to his nearness.
