________________
Such resolution can make you free from lalacha
The gluttonous greed lalacha would disappear once you made a resolution, 'I do not want anything temporary in this world'. Otherwise this intense greed only is the risk, no? Action is not the risk, avarice and gluttony is the risk. It is a different thing when you say, 'I do not want anything temporary in this world', and then you take it if it comes to you naturally. Excess gluttonous greed is rare amongst 'us' (Dadashri's mahatmas). Such greed can drag you to hell and will not let you progress in the Gnan.
Questioner: Will this intense greed lalacha persist after this Gnan also?
Dadashri: It may persist in a rare individual.
Questioner: How can one become free from these avarices—lalacha?
Dadashri: If he resolves to be rid of it, then it will leave. One should become free from lalacha, shouldn't one? It is for one's own benefit, isn't it? After making decision, after one becomes free from it, one will feel the bliss of the disentanglement. One would experience the easiness and peace of mind. One may feel fearful of losing his pleasure, but after being free from the lalacha-insatiable greed, he will experience bliss.
Questioner: But one cannot get that benefit until the fear of losing the pleasure leaves, no? As long as the fear exists, he would not be inclined to leave the greed would he?
Dadashri: So the intense greed will not leave because of fear. And he has fear, 'This pleasure of mine will go away.' Oh, let it go man, let go of it. Then only that bliss will arrive.
Removing lalacha through the ego
Questioner: In a sense, is intense greed lalacha not fruition of one's karma?
Dadashri: Yes it is, but it is wrong, is it not?
