Then you said,” Now if you beat then a tail comes out of your bottom, like that you see like a doggy and something like that.” And they believe it. They believe it. Next day they’ll ask: “Is there a tail coming out?” (Shri Mataji laughing) “Ya maybe, maybe. So now you are going to behave?” “Ya I’ll be very…” You see all these tricks are to be played to children. But they are very clever and they know how to make you dance, you see how to make you their sort of slaves. Sometimes, you know, for everything they will demand: ” Do this, do this…” 1991 – Talk after Mahavira Puja, Perth
