Questioner: People of India are obstinate and yet they are deserving of moksha.
Dadashri: It is like this; only those who are obstinate go to moksha. Who becomes obstinate, is it the one with understanding or the one without understanding? The one with understanding, would he be the one to become obstinate?

Otherwise, one is not aware at all of the obstinacy when it arises. The awareness of obstinacy arising is not there at all. If you ask someone, 'Why are you being obstinate?' he will tell you,

If his boss tells him he is being obstinate, he will not say a word because it is coming from his boss, nevertheless he will retaliate in his mind! And that is because of the ego, what will the ego not do? Everything
