________________ Therefore there is garavata of spiritual energy, wealth and sense pleasures. There are many such garavata. There is garavata even in scriptures. Questioner: Is there garavata of scriptures too? Dadashri: Simply put, garavata is anywhere where one does not feel like moving away from; it is all garavata. Otherwise, progress must be made everyday. Questioner: Therefore, on the way to the final destination, one should not stop anywhere, no matter what the location is like. Dadashri: You should not get stuck in any kind of pleasures or happiness that come along the way. A person will feel good when he reads scriptures. He will feel at peace because the words he reads are the words of a Gnani Purush. To attain a kingdom and to become stuck in enjoying it all garavata.

No one has defined garavata. The meaning of garavata is not in any books and that is why I have exposed its meaning with an example. How can one be freed from garavta? illusion bhranti of pleasure, is verily the Questioner: So this garavata? Dadashri: Everything is garavata. Questioner: The circumstances of garavata that come along now, has one not brought this along from past life? Is it not a karmic account?
