Disciples are like small plants. There are certain types of plants that develop better when they are replanted elsewhere. Some disciples do not understand this. They are unable to comprehend it, and consequently, they are unable to find success. Physical distance is nothing. "Gurudeva, I will be dying. Millions come and millions go, but still I will be dying. May I go far, farther than the stars, but still, my Lord, I will be dying. When I die, look into my eyes, mutely they will say, I will be dying." Therefore, when the Master sends a disciple from one place to another, you should not think, "Why is he sending me away? I think he does not love me." That is incorrect. He loves you; that is precisely why he sends you away. Holy Gurujī said to me, "I need you for my seva more than anybody. But for the sake of millions of other bhaktas and for your own development, I send you away. The farther you are, the nearer you will be to Me." And Gurujī used to say, "Gurudeva is always with you." This is very important. For divine work, you require certain principles: Jñāna, Vairāgya, Tyāga, Śakti, and Bhakti. These are the five beauties, the five jewels. If you possess these, you are the richest of the rich. Jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, jñāna, ... jñāna, jñāna. Gurudeva is speaking through me. I have this knowledge because he is speaking through me. Vairāgya is detachment. Śakti is willpower. "A karat erő, śakti jesnága válja," and Bhakti is devotion. And Tyāga is renouncing. Renounce your glory; renounce name and fame for yourself. Do everything only for Gurudev. Whatever beautiful or nice thing I saw in the world, I always thought, "This would be good if Holy Gurujī could have it." When a yogī travels, he takes only a few things with him, that is all: the śāstras of his Gurudeva and one bag. "Where are the śāstras?" And a kamaṇḍalu, the water pot. Do you know what a kamaṇḍalu is? Who does not know? Oh, God! So many do not know what a kamaṇḍalu is. You are Ugandan life. You are still teachers, and you do not know what a kamaṇḍalu is? "Aṭapavādī kamaṇḍalu"—the wooden shoes and the kamaṇḍalu in the hand, jolī or jaṇḍā. So, a kamaṇḍalu is a beautiful pot for drinking water. You see in some photos where Mahāprabhujī has a kamaṇḍalu with him, or Śrī Devpurījī also has a kamaṇḍalu with him. Like this. This is a water pot, you know. A sannyāsī must have this with him. Wherever a sannyāsī goes, he must have this with him. He drinks water from it. Now, in the modern world with modern technology, they have plastic bottles or thermoses. But the beauty of the sannyāsī is this. It is a copper pot. Copper metal is good to drink water from. Sometimes they go to the toilet, but it is good to drink water from it.
