“He taught with every move, every word.”
While traveling with Gurudev in Manila, a devotee noticed that Gurudev’s cup of tea had gone cold. So she brought a fresh one and was about to remove the earlier cup, when he said, “You may give me whatever you like, but never take anything away from me.”
That instruction bewildered her for some time. Surely, it makes sense to replace a cup of cold tea with a hot one? Then she understood that another devotee had lovingly given that earlier cup. Gurudev honored every act of giving as precious. True love never takes. It only gives.
