Should One Publically Attribute One's Worldly Success to the Sadguru?

O Learned and Devoted Servants of God,

[Q. Suppose I get success in this material world and become famous. Am I allowed to reveal to the world in interviews and otherwise also that the true reason for success is because of Lord Dattatreys’s blessings, love and guidance through His incarnation Swamiji? Should I keep it a secret? (This question is part of a Mahā Satsaṅga or grand spiritual discussion between Swami, Shri Parikshit, Smt. Bindiya and Dr. J. S. R. Prasad.)]

Swami replied:- When you open anything, you must estimate whether the consequences will be favorable to that person and whether such person will be benefitted by your information or not. It all depends on your judgment about that person regarding whether the information given will be absorbed positively or not. In the interest of the welfare of other souls, you can take any step about the information. But your information must be received well and must benefit the person in his/her future spiritual life. Based on all these factors, you are the best judge to decide about revealing the secret or not.
