One evening, Harilal's (Papaji) car was stopped by a famous doctor. It was on a narrow street that ran next to his house.
- Sir, they say that you have siddhis (paranormal abilities). This is true? I would like to see God. Can you help me with this?
- Why not? - Harilal answered calmly.
- Then...
“Then, if your intention is serious, we can discuss it.” But I suggest you think it through first. This is no joke, and it can take you further than you ever imagined.
- It’s okay, don’t worry. “Then, smiling knowingly, he added: “You know, I can pay well.”
- Is that so? - said Harilal. “Then we’ll show our cards and discuss the deal.”
- How much do you want? - Having said this, the doctor took a checkbook out of his pocket.
- How much are you willing to pay? - Harilal answered coldly.
“Even if you asked for a lakh (one hundred thousand rupees), I would write a check right now.”
“Are you really ready to spend a lakh on this?” Will this cause any difficulties? Let's weigh everything carefully before making a decision. Could you roughly assess your condition?
The doctor began to do the calculations. Property, house, securities, bank accounts - all this amounted to sixty-five to seventy lakhs.
“I see,” Harilal said sternly. - You're just fooling me. According to you, seeing God is your deepest desire, and all that jazz. And for this you are ready to give only one sixty-fifth of what you own. You can’t trifle with God there! You are wasting your time and mine. We have nothing more to talk about. Goodbye!
