b) Was the writer being cheated

c) After reading what the writer had done, what would you have done if you were in the same place.

d) What would be your answer if the elderly person was your father. Would you have acted in the same way.

Somebody might ask why the writer is writing all these, to show off his greatness or for any other reason. The answer is very simple, every one is having humanity inside them, someone may show it and someone may not show it. The writer wants to ignite that spark in every human being that they are human first, and they need to show humanity towards other living beings. This is the basic of taking swamy deeksha. This is the basic which is to be learnt in the swamy deeksha that every living being is a form of swamy and swamy is permeated all through this universe. If not to recognise the omnipresence of swamy, then what we are learning in the deeksha period.

Deeksha is not just for the 41 days, what all good we have learnt should be continued and implemented in our day to day life. It is the transformation which occurs from inside that should be reflected outside.
