Devotion of Swami Sadar Gurdayal Singh-ji

Question 3:
I AM GOING SOON TO THE WEST.
OSHO, IF I CALL YOU THERE, WILL YOUR HELP BE AVAILABLE TO ME
AS IT HAS BEEN AVAILABLE HERE?



CALL ME ONLY WHEN IT IS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED, when you find that now nothing can be done. First try to do all that you can do. And out of a hundred cases, ninety-nine you will not need to call me. And if you have not called me for ninety-nine cases, you have earned for the hundredth case - you can expect me in every possible way. But don't make it an everyday thing.

Let me tell you one anecdote - and it is a true anecdote. It has already happened.

And I say it is true because it comes to me from a very reliable source: Kamal has sent this story to me.

One day, Swami Arup Krishna, alias Chinani, and Sadar Gurdayal Singh were coming towards the ashram. It had rained for two, three days, and the roads were muddy and dirty water had collected everywhere, and the gutters were overflowing. And on a banana peel, Gurdayal slipped. Not only that: a small coin fell from his pocket and was lost into the gutter.

He immediately cried, "Satya Sai Baba, Satya Sai Baba - help me!"

Of course, Arup Krishna was very surprised. He said, "Gurdayal, have you gone crazy? You are Osho's disciple!"

Gurdayal said, "What do you mean? Should I call Osho in this dirty water in the gutter?!"

So remember it: whenever you need really, and it is not dirty water and a gutter, and not only a small coin is lost - then follow Gurdayal.
