knowing whether a mistake has been committed? You are blurting out your own selfish intent. What is the exact proof that the mistake is indeed of the other person?
Therefore this Vignan-spiritual science will verily eradicate all the mistakes. Otherwise any other science cannot get rid of the faults. Later such opportunity will not come again. Hence it is best to proceed after being forewarned.
One should not evaluate one's own level of spiritual progress within one's mind, as this will impede and stop his progress. One should not assess one's own spiritual level. It is of use if others do this for him.
Questioner: This level in the mind, is regarding which issue?
Dadashri: On the path of liberation everyone is sitting down having made up his mind by himself about his spiritual level. And that would be completely wrong, without even a letter of the truth to it. And once a person sits down having believed himself to be at a certain level, he stops there. There is no further progress spiritually.
Now you all are at stages where it will not take much to deviate from the path and slip off the main track. Amidst such rampant weaknesses to progress spiritually towards total enlightenment-purnatva, one needs full and thorough understanding. First, in this all, deceit kapat must leave.
All the energies are wasting away in the pursuit of—that which is not ours—relative, the non-Self.
Questioner: In addition, one employs the very deceit—kapat to cover-conceal it all again.
Dadashri: Yes, conceals the same thing again. Nothing belongs to us—the Self, yet one takes side of the non-Self. Hey you! Once you have decided in the Gnan Vidhi—that nothing is mine, then again you went for it—the non-Self complex, Chandulal—and took its side? Then he replies, 'ooops, I forgot.'
Questioner: Which is it, does he forget or is he still not free from taking its—the relative's—side?
