said, “It simply means that even a useless thing can be utilized
well if it goes in the hands of capable people. Does it not mean

asked him in a natural manner. The gentleman replied, “I shall

peacefully and happily.” Guruji asked, “Will you allow them to
quarrel with each other?” The gentleman said, “No, never. I
