The Saints come in this world and we go to them and we smile, fold with folded hands we bow our heads. We speak sweet words like, “Oh yes, I'm so lucky to have your darshan!” We will profess our love for the Saint verbally, but inside our mind is surrendered to the world and our mind holds this great pride that,
“Okay, let me see how this Saint really is. Is this Saint as smart as me?”
We don't even accept that much. Even though we're ignorant from uncountable lifetimes, when we're in front of a Saint, we actually think we're smarter than the Saint. And we're going to judge that Saint's intelligence, and while we're sitting there and the Saint is giving us his association, giving us his darshan, or maybe teaching us something, our mind is constantly analyzing and criticizing because we have that pride.
So that's a very deep form of kapat (guile or deceit). From outside, we're showing something to the Saint. We're showing our smiling face, but from inside, our heart is all wrong. We're judging and criticizing and analyzing the Saint.
So this is what the Saints have to deal with. They come and they have to deal with these souls who are ignorant, cunning, deceitful. And well, as we've heard from Shri Maharaj Ji many times in the past, this whole world is like an insane asylum for those souls who don't understand who they are. Those souls who don't know their true identity and don't know the aim of life.
So they're just rotating endlessly in the cycle of birth and death through the 8.4 million species of existence. This whole world is a big insane asylum where they can be kept until they're cured of their mental illness. And then they can attain true knowledge, true bliss, and they can reach God.
So the Saints are like the doctors coming into this crazy house where we're all staying. So a doctor knows that the patient is crazy, but the patient doesn't accept that they're crazy which makes it very difficult.
