کار یک استاد، قسمت ۲ از ۱۲

And my sister was just initiated today. I’m ashamed to tell you. You know why? I never force people. […] I just want to tell you because some people say I try to convert people into our group and always try to snatch disciples, but it’s not true. Even my sister, my brothers and my cousins, everyone does what he/she likes. I never opened my mouth to tell my sister even to eat vegan. I tell you the truth. And my father, my mother, they quit eating (animal-people) meat themselves, and they themselves quit smoking at the age of 70. […]

I have to tell you the truth. I’m not a very good sister. But I take care of her though, in whatever way I can, in whatever way she needs, except my presence. And then she comes to see me. It’s OK. I can afford the ticket, but not the time. And by now, all my friends and relatives forgive me. They love me and they truly love me unconditionally. They don’t demand anything because they know I’m very busy. And I know you are more, you’re stronger than them. You’re more in number. […]

We have too many daughters now, so you have to understand. That’s one thing, I tell you. And then, you know what? And that was just after my surgery. I had to have an operation, even a small one, but it made my whole body paralyzed. I couldn’t even walk. I couldn’t even take a bath. I couldn’t eat for two days. But the second day, I had to go for the Veterans Memorial. […] Even when I lie in bed with all the compressors, I still had to dictate many things to do. And I had to take the telephone in bed. I couldn’t even rest after the operation. I had to work immediately. […]
