Dadashri: You should live a life free from any insistence khench. Questioner: Give me an example of how one is insistent, please.
Dadashri: Suppose we are talking. I give you an answer and in order to make your point correct you bring up the same topic again. That is insistence khench. This is what people do over and over again. If a person has taken Gnan, then there would no insistence. If there is any insistence, then get rid of it, because it is a mistake. There is no problem if you try to get rid of it and it does not go away. If there is continued insistence on your part, if Chandulal is insistent, then You have to simply observe it, by doing so You remain separate. You are separate from your insistence if you remain the seer jonaro according to 'our' laws.
Insistence is something very different. Insistence khench means, if I say that, 'brother, no, it is like this.' So then to keep belaboring your point in order to prove yourself correct, that is called insistence. There is no truth where there is insistence; insistence is one of the biggest negative traits. The definition of being insistence-free is if someone tells you, 'I don't like it', then you say, 'very well. I will keep quiet', there is no botheration.
Questioner: So if someone keeps arguing dalil and tries very hard to prove his point, does that mean he has no basis?
Dadashri: But even in those situations people do not argue with awareness; people argue because they do not have awareness. In fact, people argue because they lack awareness. Do you think people with awareness would argue?
Questioner: Is it wrong or right to argue?
Dadashri: It is fine for the worldly life; it is fine if you want to do something for the worldly life, but it is wrong if you want liberation. In the worldly life, if you don't argue, people will walk away with your things. But here in satsang, it is not appropriate to argue. There is nothing to say in whatever the Gnani tells you; arguing and discussions are only meant for the worldly life. In the worldly life you may even have to say, 'Dada, do not go in this car, go in this one'. But here in satsang? What wisdom, what over
