Obstinacy leaves by 'knowing' that it has happened
Questioner: Once one realizes that one has been obstinate, and he wants to revert, by what method can he do that?
Dadashri: That obstinacy has happened, that knowledge (at the level of inner experience), verily is his turning back. 'He' (the one who has awakened) turns back the instant he knows' (inner experience-anubhav level) that obstinacy is happening. As long as one does not 'know' 'he' does not revert, and 'knowing' means he will definitely revert.
Questioner: What other adjustments does one have to take to turn
around?
Dadashri: Nothing else, he will turn around automatically. Whatever methods are necessary, 'he' will turn around with those methods. There are methods vidhis of adjustments. If one has taken Gnan, he will come to 'know' 'his' obstinacy, but not otherwise. And here, one begins to see one's own faults, directly.
Questioner: One turns around when one knows one's obstinacy. How does he know the obstinacy? How does he recognize it?
Dadashri: He will recognize it immediately. If he has taken 'our' Gnan, then he will immediately recognize that the obstinacy is being done. One would know whether the worldy interaction is within acceptable norms or not.
Questioner: But how can one recognize one's own obstinacy?
Dadashri: He will know if he has our Gnan. He will not otherwise and even if he knows, he would cover it up and continue to remain obstinate. One can know because of the power of our Gnan.
Questioner: What is the covering up of obstinacy?
Dadashri: Covering up the obstinacy is double obstinacy.
Questioner: Then there is no scope of getting rid of the original obstinacy, is there?
