Sri Annamalai SwamiQ: I read somewhere that Bhagavan said that jnanis have the power to like the individual mind to the supreme Self.
AS: Yes. A big ship can carry many people to the other side of the ocean, and a small ship can carry only a few people.
Q: And some jnanis don't carry anyone at all.
AS: These jnanis who don't have disciples don't appear to be helping anyone, but their power, the power of their realization is having a beneficial effect on all beings. It is true, though, that some jnanis pass away without teaching anyone directly. Lakshmi the cow and Bhagavan's mother are examples of this.
Q: Bhagavan once said that one jnani living on this earth is a tremendous help to all people.
AS: Yes, yes.
