Living Examples Of Control Of Wantonness > Page1
[1] Shrimad Rajchandra had written
his personal diaryand gave it to his disciple monk Shri Lalluji to
copy down some useful part of it. Shri Lalluji copied that part plus
a few other parts which he found useful. He had thought of obtaining
the permission for the other parts in the morning because his vows
as a monk did not permit him to go out at night to see Shrimad
Rajchandra.
Next morning, Shri Lalluji placed all the
copied pages and diary before Shrimad Rajchandra and said, As it
was night, I could not come to get your permission. I have copied
from the diary a few more pages than you permitted." Shrimad
Rajchandra kept his diary and all the copied pages in his own
custody.
He gave nothing back to Shri
Lalluji. Lalluji repented of it and narrated everything
before Ambalalhbai, a householder pupil of Shrimad Rajchandra. He
too scolded him for copying extra pages without permission. Shri
Lalluji requested Shrimad Rajchandra again through
Ambalalbhai to return him the copied pages.
He then hand over to Lalluji all that he
had copied. This was one of the ways in which Shrimad Rajchandra
revealed the glory of control of wantonness and preached again and
again to resort to self control (AtmaSadhana) under the orders of
the preceptor.
