prakruti. Not only does one protect the prakruti but one turns things around by employing kapat deceit. There, the 'I-ness' is doubled. The vehement protection is the 'I-ness' potapanu. Having protected this, one will artfully dodge away from the situation. The artful kada dodging is kapat deceit.
Did you understand the meaning of I-ness potapanu? One still continues to protect the non-Self, and that protection is attained through kada artfulness and kapat deceit.
Questioner: To protect one's prakruti is considered 'I-ness' potapanu, so when does it slide into deceit kapat?
Dadashri: All the 'I-ness' goes into protecting the prakruti the nonSelf. The 'I-ness' without kapat deceitfulness is better; it is softer, but the other is bad.
Qiestioner: You have said that protection of prakruti is 'I-ness' and to protect through artfulness and deceit is double the 'I-ness'.
Dadashri: Yes, that is double the 'I-ness'. Even children protect themselves, but there is no deceit in it.
Questioner. When a person knows that he has protected his prakruti artfully and deceitfully, what is that?
Dadashri: He will recognize it if the deceit kapat is thin but he will not if it is heavy and dense.
Aggression is intense potapanu
Do you have a desire to get rid of the 'I-ness' potapanu?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: When the hurt inflicted to any and all being stops, then those layers will be begin to be shed.
Questioner: What layers?
