You can never be insincere or lie when you are close to Saint - there is now way you can fool him/her on this account Vira Chandra
Advaita should be in bhava, within - not for outside, worldly affairs. Jnanis are like professional mourners who weep loudly, if ordered to, for an agreed wage. Vira Chandra
Saints detect the good qualities in people that were generally undiscovered by others. We should avoid speking of the negative qualities of people Vira Chandra
Though saints are equal and kind to all alike, there is small coterie of followers who are recipients of a special care and love. It happens automatically, as response to devotees' love Vira Chandra
All bad or painful prarabdha karma will still happen. It will happen automatically. But if you have a shelter of a saint, the blow is softened, or at the very least all help and resources are granted Vira Chandra
Saints do not have a desire to annex, make you their follower if you are unripe. They wait for time and circumstances to make you ready for them. Vira Chandra
