                      “Shraddhavaan labhathey Jnanam” it means that according to ones interest Jnanam
                      will be known. ‘How deep person thirsts’ to acquire jnanam, so befitting would
                      be the resultant outcome’… The invisible and triangular shaped power which seized
                      the forty-five persons on earth and power landed them on alien planet were
                      neither believers of God nor had any desire to explore what jnanam is? Since
                      they had no desire, there is no question of showing curiosity over the aspect of
                      jnanam. It can be ascertained from this fact that those who thirsts to acquire
                      Jnanam, only such persons can acquire. If we analyze this deeply, a scientific
                      reason can be found. If a person accidentally falls on paint colour, the result is,
                      the colour sticks to him. Similarly, if colour paint accidentally falls on a person,
                      same will be the result. Likewise, a person who is not at all interested on the path
                      of Jnanam; he cannot become an enlightened person and he won’t even attempt
                      to explore it. So, is there any scope for such a person to become a jnanis? Here,
                      God’s words have to noticed, viz., ‘Jnanam can be acquired only if a person
                      concentrates on the form of God’. There cannot be a more befitting answer than
                      that. This reply can be taken on behalf of humankind. But, there is another reply
                      on behalf of God. That is … it will be better to narrate it with an example.

                               During the year 1981, once I was sitting at Marina Beach in Chennai. Since
                      it was evening hours, a large number of people were present there. Small vendors
                      were moving here and there, selling miscellaneous food items. One such person
                      came to me carrying boiled peanuts shouting about the specialty of the item. But
                      I ignored his pleasing words and did not buy the boiled peanuts. In fact, I had no
                      habbit of taking small bits of food; apart I had no liking for peanuts. Three to four
                      times the person passed by me and to attract my attention he was shouting that
                      the boiled peanuts are hot and tasty. Since I had no interest to have them, I did
                      not buy. The next time that person approached me directly and said, ‘Even if you
                      don’t buy, I don’t mind. But have them for time passes, saying so he kept four
                      peanuts in my palm and left the place. Since he offered them without my
                      willingness, that too free of cost, I had them and tasted really good. So, a desire
                      started in me to have some more peanuts. Keeping quite till now, why did a
                      desire arouse in me to buy the boiled peanuts? Yet, since the petty vendor gave
                      a few peanuts free of cost and the desire to eat made me buy the peanuts and
                      had them. What is to be noted here is that, though Iam averse to eat peanuts
                      and since the petty vendor placed them forcible in my hand, I had them.

                                                                                                                          38
