INTEGRITY

Guruji has lived in India for many years.There are many memories I have of the times I spent with Him there. One of them is of the 'Arupathi'. An Arupathi is many times more a millionaire that we know of in the west. (there are many arupathis in India.) This one met Guruji at a gathering and asked if he could have a private meeting with him. Guruji is open to all and everyone rich & poor. Guruji agreed and asked him what time he would like to come. He gave a time and it was settled that he would come at 2pm. 2 pm came and went and when the arupathi arrived much later he was told that Guruji would not see him. He was upset and said, "But I was meeting with Government ministers!" Guruji gave him another time to come the next day...again the same thing happened. Guruji sent a message to him that he would not see him. The man cried and went away. One of his devotees said to Him...'why did you send him away he could have given you much money to fund all the things you want to do in India...he would have given you land and built you a place where homeless children could come and live and learn. Guruji said, 'If he has no respect for time then he has no respect for himself. He is a prisoner of time and no good will come of it!"
