How cleverly he persuaded the secretary! To win the bungalow. The bungalow was a king size. On the top floor deep
trust of the opposite person, first of all, one has to jus fy that
his doubt is valid, such suspicion is obvious to arise. Just alone
logic or intellect doesn't work that, We are true and selfless
persons and we've come to do a favour'. Along with
intelligence, one needs courtesy and emo ons, one needs to
comprehend the degree of sorrow of the opposite person. Just
imagine, if we are in his place and at that me someone may
have come to give lacs of assistance but what would we do if he
doesn't speak anything that would make us gain trust on him?
A er several other bi er experiences. How can we directly put
trust in him? Just as we think and feel, so do others. So, first of
all, one has to show sympathy for his grief and show that his
doubt, fear etc. is not in the wrong place.
Now see the condi on of the secretary. Being loyal to his
boss, the secretary is not ready to abruptly trust an outside
stranger. He is also aware of the cri cal crisis the company is
facing. He also has a desire in his heart to get the solu on to
recover from the crisis. The secretary thought If the visitor
would have rudely said, “I don't want to talk with you. Join me
with your boss” then he might be surely a new creditor. Then I
would have told. “The boss is engaged. He won't be available
right now.” But over here, the visitor is telling me in private, “I
haven't come over here to take money but to give money.” 'So
the slumbering hope woke up. He saw him as a God sent-
messenger.
The secretary understood his emo on. The secretary's
mind was already full of hopes. In such a condi on, when a ray
of hope appears forth, who would not get tempted to it? The
secretary said to him, “C'mon, let me take you to my boss!”
Saying so, they got down the stairs, sat into a car and reached a

inside a hall, the company owner was in an extremely
depressed and tensed state. The secretary went up to him and
introduced the ready-to-help American. His eyes sparkled and
experienced rejuvena ng freshness going through his body!
When a person suppressed in a cri cal calamity, has lost
all hopes and out of the blue, he sees a ray of solid hope beyond
his expecta ons, the person feels tremendous and incredible
bliss in mind. In other words, we can say, if we feel immense
bliss in ge ng a sorrow-elimina ng element, it means the
sorrow in the past was enormous and extremely itching. Now,
let's see a wonderful concept. Do we feel tremendous bliss in
ge ng Bhagwan, Guru and religion and various kinds of
spiritual prac ces, the sure cause to eradicate all your worldly
sorrows? Such a bliss will only arise if one feels boundless
sorrow and pain of being confined in this mundane world. If
one wants to experience tremendous bliss over there,(in
a aining Bhagwan), then one should bring in the mind and
feel the boundless sorrow and pain of being jailed in this
mundane world. If one has no such pain in his mind, he may
not get excited, won't feel the bliss in ge ng Bhagwan, Guru
etc.
The ready-to-help American signalled both the
secretaries of him and of the opposite American to sit outside
the room. A er bol ng the door, he started the conversa on.
He asked,” Do you recognize me?”
“No, who are you?”
“I was that poor man…. Who came to commit suicide on
the sea coast and you gave him two dollars and a visi ng card. It
happened long back, before several years. You remembered?”
On listening to such hints, the past incident flashed a bit
