Somebody who has so many questions

should never talk about Bhakti. [All laugh]

Because Bhaktaas (those who have Bhakti) have no questions.

That's why I'm telling you.

For you people, I'm keeping the Bhakti out.

Because, you are incapable of devotion.

If we talk devotion, you will end up deception.

So, better just slice everything and look what is inside.

Because, your mind is made like this-

If I give you this and say,

"You should never open this."

"You should never open this, just keep this with you.

This will take you to heaven."

[Laughs]

In your sleep, you will sleepwalk, and go and open it. [All laugh]

Isn't it so?

So, that's the kind of mind you have.

So don't talk Bhakti now.

We will see, when those things change,

we'll talk Bhakti.

Because, I'm not here to propound Philosophies for you.

I'm here, just to give you a method that works

for you, not for somebody else.

There were some great Bhaktaas somewhere,

where he was dripping with ecstasy. It doesn't matter.

That's not for you.

I'm not saying, "You'll never be capable of that."

But, right now, with a thinking mind,

a mind which likes logic more than anything else,

with this mind don't talk Bhakti.

You'll just deceive yourself.

When such a thing comes, that your mind

and what your mind says is no more significant to you,

then Bhakti will naturally come.

You don't have to do anything about it.

But right now, what your mind says

is very important for you. Isn't it?

Yes or no? [Crowd] Yes.

Where what your mind says is important for you,

do not talk Bhakti.

It'll be a waste of time and life.
