Baba
Story: Margii & Wt relations
Namaskar,
One family acarya from Gorakhpur came to Baba to complain about one young Wt. With hatred and disdain towards the young worker, the family acarya was telling about the laziness of that junior Wt.

Baba: you failed in your duty
Sadguru Baba immediately interjected and with His divine countenance feigned scolding the family acarya and told him to look upon that young worker as his own son. Not only that, all-knowing Baba said that, "He [the young Wt] was exhausted and that is why he could not do any work. And since he was a new Wt, he has been under your care in Gorakhpur, but he is not getting nutritious food. Due to lack of proper food, he has no energy to run around and attend to all kinds of activities. You are the in-charge there but you are not doing your duty to provide the basic necessities for this young Wt. And without understanding the details, you are complaining about his laziness. Do you not have any shame? The other night, on the evening of the festival, while you yourself were eating dainties and delicacies with your friends and relatives and enjoying at your house, this young worker was not even able to find any proper food in the jagrti.”
Margii is repentant
After telling this, Baba scolded the family acarya stating, “The new Wt is quite young, and you would have taken care properly, but instead shamelessly you have come here to complain.” Then the margii hung his head in shame and realised his mistake, and he asked Baba for punishment.

Margii-Wt relation & responsibility
All-merciful Baba saw how the family acarya was repentant and said, “In the future you should follow your basic duties. The role of family margiis is to look after your personal family, take care of the mundane needs of Wts, and create circumstances so they can do maximum social service. If margiis just started complaining about Wts and Wts complain about margiis about various social service activities and levy accusations about who is not doing what, the result will not be good. First people should do their own work and become ideal examples by their actions. And they should inspire others to also engage in worthy endeavours."
“Yes, if a particular Wt is not following the conduct rules then surely it should be pointed out. Because one’s conduct is the base, and if that is not proper then how will they be able to engage in social service?”
After hearing this from Sadguru Baba margiis got a new vision. And the above family acarya began doing his own duty of a family person, and, in result, the new, idealistic Wt gradually became very enthusiastic and active.

Namaskar,

By the way, while Baba was scolding that family acarya, He also pointed out that the family acarya's own son had not become a WT nor was he even a margii.
Plagiary?
It is the accepted international standard and Baba's system not to copy another's work and publish it in your own way. Baba has given a very strict rule on plagiarism. Why is Baba against plagiarism or stealing someone's work? There are many reasons:
1) It is against the code of asteya (non-stealing).
2) Countless stories of bhaktas need to be published. But some do not want to do the hard work of compiling and writing these stories, so they just steal them from others. But new stories need to be told, otherwise so many unpublished stories of sadhakas will be lost and forgotten forever. So watch out for story thieves, and kindly help them not to steal by posting on social media in their own way. If you want to forward this story then attach the following yellow section with the story:

This will be treated as the standard protocol.

Purport:
Parama Purusa, You are both beyond and within this entire universe. Even then why do I desperately search for You externally. Baba, I do not understand Your liila. Despite my awareness about Your eternal omnipresence, I go on seeking You outwardly - in all the nooks and corners. I cry in longing to get You. By Your grace, in the vast sky, in the air, water, and in the fire - in each entity a spiritual vibration is generated.
Baba, You are the source and inspiration of everything. All the beauty and glories of this entire creation are due to Your grace. By thinking about Your grand play I am divinely intoxicated and ensconced in Your love. When I think about Your vastness and greatness I lose myself in Your ideation.
Parama Purusa, You are ever-awake in the deep corner of all hearts, every moment, always. In spite of knowing that You are all-pervading, most of my days get wasted unnecessarily in seeking You in the mundane world. I lost so much time looking for You outside meaninglessly.
Baba, when I aim to find You within, by Your grace I feel that You are always sitting in my mind, smiling...

Capitalist indoctrination
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The system of education prevailing today was formulated or evolved long ago, mainly with a view to suit the needs of the capitalist class. For the last three to four thousand years, the same type of education is being imparted. The main purpose behind this sort of educational system is to create persons with a slavish mentality to fulfill need of those capitalist exploiters. This sort of education is fundamentally defective. It is certain that this type of education which serves the capitalists' interests is not at all suitable. This sort of education creates obstacles in the evolution of humanity. We have to thoroughly revamp the entire educational system. A new educational system must evolve to produce sadvipras." (1)
Note: Those who are bragging about the standard of their education should know what type and what category of knowledge they have. In this regard, we should ponder Sadguru Baba's above guideline.
