Great souls and redemption of sinners

Mother: That’s also true. Further, a great soul thus loses his Power. The power of austerities and spiritual disciplines that might have been utilized for the liberation of many souls, is spent for the sake of one person. The Master used to say, “ I have all these physical ailments because I have taken upon myself the sins of Girish.” But now Girish also is suffering.

Disciple : Mother, one day I had a dream. I saw that a man with shaggy hair came to you and insisted that you must do something for him at once. He had previously been initiated by you. But he himself would not practice any spiritual discipline. You said, “ If I do something for him, then I shall not live; my body will fall off immediately.” With all the earnestness I could command, I forbade you to show any kindness to this man and said, ” Why should you do anything for him? He will achieve his own salvation. Let him practice Sadhana.” As he insisted again and again, you became disgusted with him, did something to him by touching his chest and neck, and said repeatedly, “ If I do something for him, then I shall not live ; my body will fall off immediately.’ Then my dream disappeared. Well, is it true that one’s power becomes limited when one is born in a physical body ?

Mother: Yes, that is so. Many a time, disgusted with the repeated requests of some persons, I think, “ Well, this body will die some day. Let it fall off this moment. Let me give him salvation.”
