Farid ji was visited by a mother and son, she was very frustrated, 'O Baba ji, tell him to stop eating Gor (sugar cane candy), it's bad for him, yet he eats it all the time. • I've tried everything but he just doesnt listen, so my humble request is YOU tell my son to stop' • The wise old Sant nodded his head as the mother spoke and listened carefully, he replied 'Bibi ji, ask me again in one week's time'.
PRACTISE WHAT YOU PREACH. • The mother said, 'Sat Bachan (OK)' and departed. She came back in exactly a week and listed all the same problems, 'O Baba ji he still didnt stop, he might listen to you, please tell him'. • The Sant looked at the son and said, 'Son listen to your mother and stop eating Gor.' • The sevadars around the Sant had observed the incident and said, why didnt you just tell the boy last week? • The Sant replied, last week I used to eat Gor, how could I tell him to do something that I don’t practise myself? • After they left last week I stopped eating Gor and that is why I was able to ask him to stop as well!'
