are able to do so because of the knowledge and the intellectual
methods that I give to you.
Customers: Who Brings Them?
Questioner : I open my shop early and close late in
order to attract more customers, is this right?
Dadashri : Who are you to attract customers? You
should open your shop at the same time others do. If others
open their shop at 7:00 a.m. and you open yours at 9:30 a.m.,
that is wrong. Close your shop at the same time others do. The
worldly life tells you that you should observe what others do.
You should sleep when others do. If you make noise till 2:00
in the morning, is that acceptable? Do you worry about how
you are going to digest your food after you eat? The
consequences of your eating become evident in the morning,
without fail. This principle also applies to business everywhere.
Questioner : Dada, recently I have had no customers in
the business, what should I do about that?
Dadashri : If you lose electricity and you sit there
waiting and pondering, ‘When will the light come back? When
will the light come back?’ will it come back sooner? What do
you do in that situation?
Questioner : I notify the company or I will go there
myself.
Dadashri : Do you not call the company hundred times?
Questioner : No.
Dadashri : When this light went off, we were all singing.
Did the light not come back on its own?
Questioner : Does that mean we should remain
detached?
