Humans are usually influenced by the power of vices like lust, anger, greed, passion, pride and envy. If arrogance is added to these six enemies of man, their life will be in ruins. Ignorant people boast of their limited scholarship, name, fame, and genius and move around with pride and arrogance. They forget that their talent is gifted by God as a result of their good deeds done in their past lives. To show the right path to such people, Baba incarnated in the human form.
However great a singer might be, if he or she thinks, "there is no singer like me" he or she will not blossom into a master singer, but faces their own downfall, ego-bloated. Voice sounds croaking. Ego is like darkness. Hence, in whatever art a person excels, it should be treated as a boon of God. Nana Chandorkar prided himself as a great scholar. He assumed that he had a clear grasp of the teachings of Bhagvad Geeta. He thought that Baba had no knowledge of Sanskrit and therefore not familiar with real teachings.
But Baba asked him to explain the meaning of "knowledge" from a verse in Geeta by substituting the word 'ignorance'. Nana fumbled. Baba made it crystal clear by shedding some light on the verse. Nana, on knowing his fault, beseeched Baba's pardon. Thus, Baba, the Omniscient, can humble the ego and pride of His devotees and enlighten them.
