Dadashri: That is why one becomes deluded at the time of tasting sweetness-pleasant life effects.
Now uninterrupted awareness-Gnan will be experienced when there is no objection or interference of any kind (with reference to painful or pleasant life effects). This path is of uninterrupted awareness-akhhand jagruti.
'Pointman' on the path of liberation
The thing here is that there would be many point men (men in charge of railway line switching points) on the spiritual path. So if we are on the train that we think would take us to Delhi, it would have been switched somewhere on the way and we end up at the wrong destination. Therefore adhere to the destination from our—The Gnani's point only. There is likely to be so many point men here.
If the train is traveling on the main line—the right track you will not be robbed (of the great spiritual treasure received from the Gnani). If the track changes, you will be robbed and thereafter there is no telling where you will end up. Therefore do not ever place any trust on a point man. If you begin a tea break with him, and continue the pleasantry, he will switch your destination track.
Questioner: Who is said to be a point man in the path of liberationmoksha?
Dadashri: A point man is one who speaks that which pleases you. If some one talks to you and makes you dizzy with a sense of inner pleasure, then you should know that a point man has arrived. He speaks something that pleases you and then the mind gets caught up in it and takes over. Therefore a point man will switch your train to the wrong track with the same speed, without you being aware of the switch. Later on if someone tells you, 'Oh, why are you on this wrong path? Then you will reply, 'I can never be on the wrong way!' This is how it is.
Questioner: Is this why the Lord has said to remain continuously under the shelter of the Gnani?
