Once Harinath said to the Master that his goal was to attain nirvana (liberation) in this very life. For this the Master reproached him: “Those who seek nirvana are selfish and small-minded. They are full of fear. They are like those parcheesi players who are always eager to reach home. An amateur player, once he sends his piece home, doesn’t like to bring it out again. Such players are unskilled. But an adept player is never afraid of coming out again, if by doing so he gets the opportunity to capture an opponent. Then he rolls the right number and returns home once more. It seems that whenever he rolls the dice, the right number comes up for him. So do not fear. Play without any fear.” Harinath asked with wonder, “Does it actually happen?” “Of course it happens,” replied the Master. “By Mother’s grace everything takes place.”
