How does a Sadhu argues the case of ordinary persons with the Lord?

Nama Article 25th April 2007

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji


When a Sãdhu demands of Lord to bestow liberation (Moksha) on a person he (the Sadhu) does not tell the Lord, "He is good. Give him liberation (Moksha)."

Why?

Does not Lord know if a person is virtuous or not?

The Mahãns tell Lord, "Do not take note of his 'guna' (virtue) or 'dosha' (vice/fault). Take note of only the fact that I have sent him."

At once the Lord gives the ticket of Moksha to that person.

The Sadhu (dares to) tells the Lord, "Take him unto Yourself! You need not analyse on the virtue or any other background of the jiva being sent to you. Take note of only one fact - that he has taken refuge in a Mahatma, had attended a Satsang, listened to your stories, chanted your Divine Name."
