sugar, nuts and cardamom) in it, your doodhpaak will be ruined. The effect of the odor ('stain') of asafetida lingers for six months, but the stain' of kusang will ruin your life for infinity!"
Dadashri
Mantra is a science; it is not a fake speculation. Especially the Trimantra; it is helpful in destroying obstacles of the worldly life. Trimantra is impartial; it indicates equanimity for all religions. The celestial beings that protect all religions are pleased when we recite the Trimantra. When does a mantra become effective? It has an immeasurable effect if it is given by a Gnani Purush! As long as one is involved in life's interactions, one should offer all the three mantras at the same time, i.e. the "Navkar (Namokar): 5 Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya,' and
30 Namah Shivaya' To offer only the Navkar mantra is proper for the sanyast being (Self-realized). Until one attains the sanyast state, he should recite all three mantras together. Renunciation does not mean changing of clothes; it means renunciation of the non-self i.e. renunciation of one's identity as being the non-self or the relative-self and the realization of the Self as being the Soul.
Dadashri explains the current condition of the world. Dadashri says that, 'Since 1942, I have been saying that the whole world is being converted into a mental hospital!
Madness is evident wherever you look. You ask for one thing and the answer is about another thing! There is no accord with one another! Is it not madness to create major clashes over trivial things?
People disgrace the younger generation of today, but Dadashri says that only this young generation will make India famous. And Dadashri's naturally spoken words are that India will be a center of the world in the year 2005, and this is becoming evident now.
Thirty-one years from now, people from other countries
will come here to learn how to live life, how much to eat, how much to sleep and how to live.
There are only two things in this world, the pure Soul and circumstances.'
Dadashri "Pure Soul is eternal and circumstances are constantly changing"
"Gross circumstances, subtle circumstances, and the circumstances of speech are of the non-Self and are dependent on other forces."
Dadashri All circumstances that can be experienced through the five senses are gross circumstances. Circumstances of the mind, intellect, chit, and ego are subtle. The circumstances of speech are gross as well as subtle; all these are the non-self and they are also dependent upon some other force. Speech is a record: it is physical. The Soul and speech are not related. The Soul is without speech. Yes, the Soul is the Knower-Seer of what type of speech is being spoken, where mistakes are made in the speech etc. Circumstances, by their very nature are prone to end. If one dwells in the circumstances, he will become temporary and if he dwells in the Soul, which is eternal, then he is eternal. Lord Mahavir has said that except for the Soul (the Self) everything else is a circumstance. The Self is unattached and free from all circumstances.
There are two types of penance; one is inner penance and the other is external penance. External penance is visible to others and inner penance is one that no one else knows about. One does inner penance within his own self. The result of external penance is improvement of one's worldly life and the result of inner penance is moksha! Everyone knows about external penance, the inner penance can be learned only from the Gnani Purush.
"Real penance is to not let the Self and the non-self
