________________ 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?
