The Sat Purush is not in such garavata. They do not remain in the 'fridge' anywhere. Even if you seat them in a 'fridge' or in a warm place, they will come out of it. They do not like such garavata. People on the other hand enjoy the garavata of the worldly life and remain in it the whole day. long, they do not even go to listen to spiritual discourses. That apathy is garavata. People remain in worldly garavata and the buffalos remain in the other garavata. People's garavata is the pleasure of the five sense organs. Carefree! Therefore, the whole world is trapped in garavata.
The water buffalo does not realize that she will eventually have to go home when the sun sets. So why not shape up and get out. There is food at home and at the same time she will also maintain her owner's respect and her own respect. But she will not get up. Will she not have to go home at night? When she feels cold she will get out of that ditch, but as long as she remains in the ditch, it is called a state of garavata. When one becomes restless from the heat of the hot summer day and indulges in three scoops of ice cream, that is garavata.
See the garavata! The buffalo's garavata is mud and human being's garavata is this worldly life. Bufallos have garavata of only certain places but humans have garavata of women, airconditioners etc! A father will be smiling ear to ear because he thinks, 'I have three sons so I will have three daughter-in-laws. I want to buid three homes for them.' All such garavata arises. Just as the water-bufallo sits in a smelly ditch, the whole world is stuck in garavata. People sit in the stench; nothing but the stench of sense pleasures. In order to indulge in the stench of such pleasures, they will put up with bitterness of quarrels. People take pleasure of garavata from their looks, garavata of sex, garavata of taste, garavata of illusion and greed and this is why they do not like to come out of it.
Questioner: Dada, can it be said that we have become like the bufallos because of wealth, fame, respect, status, etc., that we have attained?
Dadashri: Yes, you have become like the bufallos.
Questioner: Do we not need someone to get us out of that garavata?
Dadashri: Yes you do need someone to get you out of that garavata. Who would do the enticing and the coaxing? What would it take to entice you? What will the buffalo respond to when she will not even budge with
