The Practice of Humanity
I do not want to keep it, then if nothing else, what if I distribute it to those who are needy?
Dadashri: No. Not to those who are needy. Investigate how the money can be given back to the person it belongs to; inform him and send it back to him. Nevertheless, if it does not work out, if he is from abroad, then you should make good use of that money in any way, but do not keep it for yourself.
Moreover, if you happen to return it, then you will come across someone who will return that which belongs to you. If you do not return it, then how will that which is yours be returned to you? Therefore, you should change your level of development. This will not do; this is not a way to live! You earn so much money here, yet you are not happy; what is this?!
If you have borrowed two thousand from someone right now, and later you are not in a position to pay him back, and the intent arises in your mind, ‘Am I going to sign an agreement to pay him back now? I will say no to him.' The moment that intent arises, the thought should arise in the mind, 'If someone who borrowed money from me had such an intent, then what would I go through?' Therefore, to live in such a way that our intent does not spoil is referred to as the practice of humanity.
To not hurt anyone is the greatest knowledge of all. Take care of this much. If you do not eat root vegetables (kandmood) yet you do not know how to uphold humanity, then it is useless. Many such people have gone into the animal life-form by taking away that which belongs to others; they have not yet returned. This is the rule of law; this is not the rule of haphazardness. Hypocrisy will not do here, complete hypocrisy. Does haphazardness rule? Is it the law that rules or haphazardness that rules?
