At their weekly Thursday tea at the Family Quarters, Baba warned the mandali:
Beware of anger! The anger of a Sadguru is beneficial to those connected with him and to others, but the anger of an ordinary man is harmful. Remain on an equal level of love with all those who come for my darshan. Feel that you are one with them, regardless of caste or religion. If someone speaks angrily with you, be humble with him. If humility does not affect him, then you should touch his feet.
One should either be a crow or a swan, but not a heron, which is white on the outside but black on the inside.
Also, always be at a distance from the riches and women of other men.
