“In the beginning, when no one honours a person, imagine what his nature is like. Then, when 100 people begin to follow him, his self-conceit becomes of a different type. Further, when 1,000 people or 100,000 people follow him, or 10 million people follow him, his self-conceit becomes of a different type altogether. Then, if he becomes like Brahmã, or Shiv, or Indra, and if he is rational, he would realise, ‘My greatness is not due to this status.’ What is it due to? Well, greatness is due to the ãtmã; and secondly, it is due to association with the Sant. This is because even though Brahmã and the others are all great, they still crave for the dust from the feet of the Sant.
