Dadashri: Yes, He is a wise man because he did not throw them away. He did a good thing.
Questioner: It is because you are a Gnani Purush that the other person's obstinacy leaves.
Dadashri: It goes away quickly. Otherwise, it would leave after one takes a lot of beating and through bitter realisation. Once a person suffers bitter experiences and realizes them, then the obstinacy begins to leave. Otherwise, it takes many, many lifetimes.
It should not be so
Questioner: For the mahatmas who have taken Gnan, what hinders them more, their obstinacy or their unsurmountable inner obstacle atkan?
Dadashri: Unsurmountable inner obstacle atkan! The obstinacies do not trouble much. As far as obstinacy is concerned, one understands samaj that it is wrong. After attaining this Gnan, the obstinacy gives 'hima beating. This obstinacy is a collected stock that was gathered and charged in the past life. That stock is now giving its effect in this life, as a beating. Therefore, no one has a liking for obstinacy. But unsurmountable inner obstacle atkan leads to more suffering. These faults do still give you trouble inspite of having this Gnan. This stock that exists, should not be there. Now once this has been gathered from the market, it cannot be denied by us, can it? Whatever stock was filled, will empty. No new stock is going to be filled puran. The old is emptying galan. The old that was filled is emptying, and that was filled by us. Therefore we have to 'see' 'see it, thus 'purifying' it and then let go of it. It has to be let go after purifying it. It does not matter what kind it is. The internal state should be that how should all that worldly interaction vyavahar become cleansed, should it not?
'You' are not the obstinate 'one'
I have straightened you out! Have I not? Who was the obstinate one? 'Chandulal.' That 'Chandulal' is not "You'. Therefore, 'You just have to say, 'I am not this. I am this Shuddhatma.' Then, does your obstinacy not go away? How do you feel about it??
