Throughout the entire duration when I lived in the proximity of

Gurudev Swami Vishnu Tirth Maharaj, not even once did I see
Maharajshri solicit anyone, directly or indirectly, for wealth or material
possessions. The construction of a building was abandoned halfway
through, and it remained unfinished for quite some time. Let alone
soliciting, he did not even harbor the desire to accumulate wealth
when he visited any place. From whatever I can remember about
myself, I have never stretched my hands before anyone. Whatever I
received from God in a natural way, I sustained myself with that. But it
is a sad event today that Maharajshris name and my name is being
used boldly, without any hesitation, to accumulate wealth. Our names
are being used to raise funds. By declaring it to be our blessings and
desire, attempts are being made to accumulate wealth. I wish to make
it crystal clear that if someone has been blessed to undertake a given
task, it is not a sanction for accumulating wealth. Seated in his sadhan
dham1, what must be going through Maharajshris mind as he is
watching all this? Even otherwise, running after wealth is contrary to
the rules of spiritual practice. Whatever help someone wishes to offer
according to his desire and capability, without our asking, is what we
should accept. To sustain oneself with whatever one gets through the
normal course of things, is in accordance to the dharma of spirituality.
Such events cause intense grief in my mind. Sometimes I think that
hereafter, I should not participate in any gathering, nor should I
maintain any association and communication with anybody.
Hence, all spiritual aspirants and disciples, do whatever you want, only
if you wish to do anything as per your faith, sentiment, capability and
situation, without being influenced by my name.
May Guru Maharaj bless everyone.

January 20, 2005

Sincerely,

Shivom Tirth
