If I was a moral teacher, I would try to change you. Because I am a Guru, I do not try to change you. I’m not asking you to be good, I’m not asking you to be peaceful, I am not asking you to be nice to somebody, I don’t intend to change you like that, that will be just a pretension, My intention and my work is to bring clarity.
