Of trustees, leaders.. jokes and control

That sort of a thing should be that anybody becomes a leader is just a joke.
Otherwise, I have seen people, you make them the trustees they just ride on the horse.
You make them something, leader, they ride on the horse. All sorts of things happen.
You make them the trustees...
That should not happen any more, and the leaders must see to the point that they have to become really great evolved avadhutas. Otherwise they cannot impress people. Avadhutas are the people who are extremely compassionate, extremely kind and for you I would say you should follow the example, Tukarama, because he was such a kind and a sweet person, but he said things which were very, very deep and very straightforward. So the forthright behavior need not be so sharp as to cut everybody through. 
Tukaram.
Forthright could be such that it guides the person in the proper way and the plying of a person in this ocean of maya becomes easier. That is what is called the leadership.
Now leadership should not be challenged. Some people have too much ideas from outside, because they think they are something, you see, they know. They are administrators or they are journalists or they have worked as some sort of a politicians or this and that, and they try to control the leaders, is a wrong thing. So now do not try to control the leaders. If there's something wrong I'll correct them. This is very important, because again and again I tell you that once you start challenging the leader I get the pangs of it. So, please do not do it. If you do not want to hurt me, do not challenge the leader as he is.

1985-03/17: Birthday Puja, Melbourne, Australia: 
Left Vishuddhi is the problem today of the West, I tell you. All these problems are coming from left Vishuddhi but which is not, in no way is that they're subdued; on the contrary any moment this left Vishuddhi can blow in again into the ego.
From where else...?
You see, I have seen this in the West, very common. People are walking straight forward, everything is all right - even in the cities of India we have seen it - you make them into trustees, suddenly they jump on the horse. I said, "From where did they jump in the horse, from where else this ego has come?" That was all stored up here, you see: as soon as they become trustees the whole thing comes back, and they are sitting like John Gilpin on a horse, going fast. And I start looking at them: where are they going? They were just there - disappeared!  Vanishing tricks! Just can't understand why it happens. But after penetrating into the problems - because I see, just going into this hall you get the left Vishuddhi.

My comment: Mother is not here any-more. She had never let happen that Sahaj got spoiled by wrong doers (once they got lost in their egos and on their horses, She corrected them or they just left !). WE have to assume collectively what "is called leadership". Please go back to the words "pangs" and "hurt". 
WE the collective cannot escape from taking some responsibilities, or we could turn into a kind of a final witness-state, unwillingly  witnessing the falling-off of Her work. Matter exists in order to share love, to convey love, we all have to deal with matter,... matters, situations, and issues.
