You have to become that quality

"All this when we say that you are 'this'. There's no need to be puffed up, you see, if I tell a little tree that you are going to be a big tree, doesn't mean it has become a big tree. One has to become the big tree by pushing forward. And that quality like Gyaneshwara, like Tukarama, like Ramadasa, you all have to become that quality. They never saw Me; I just nourished them without them seeing me. But they nourished themselves: on their own virtues, on their own qualities, on their own greatness. You have to be great like that. Instead of that, if you live with false notions about yourself, artificial things, absurd ideas, all nonsense that we have gathered: through our upbringing, through our rationality, through our reading, through other gurus, and our own mental projections are going to be extremely dangerous, for every individual Sahaja Yogi, and as a whole, it will effect."
