Aptavani-2
of sansthan-vichaya, but one should try to attain the right knowledge (samkit), doings so will encompass everything. And for dharmadhyan, all one needs to do is make an effort to not have any artadhyan or raudradhyan. Where there is no artadhyan and raudradhyan, there is dharmadhyan. Shukladhyan is not to be found in this day and age. So if you want to attain dharmadhyan, get rid of the artadhyan and raudradhyan. What is dharmadhyan? It is when you do not see any fault in the one who slanders, accuses or hurts you. Your Gnan is such that, in spite of his actions against you, you do not see any faults in him and you have the awareness that it is all due to the maturation of your own past karma. The Lord has called this dharmadhyan.
When your mother-in-law scolds you, you need to understand why you ended up with this particular mother-in-law. Were there no others? Why did I get her only? Therefore there is some karmic account (hisaab) with her. So settle this account with equanimity.
There is no dharmadhyan around anymore in this era. In the current era of this time cycle people have no understanding of dharmadhyan. They would be indeed blessed if they did.
Questioner : Is it because the force of the ego is so powerful that one forgets dharmadhyan?
Dadashri : What is the definition of understanding? It is where your conduct follows the understanding. As long as it does not bring about a change in the conduct, we can say that one has not understood. The effect of understanding must manifest in one's behavior. It must bring about a change in his conduct
There are two bottles, which look exactly the same. They both have a white liquid in them. One bottle is labeled 'nectar and the other is labeled, "poison! You tell a child that he is not to touch the bottles. If the child has seen you take the medicine from the 'nectar' bottle, he may not know the difference and
may ingest the contents of the bottle labeled 'poison. So simply cautioning the child about poison is not enough, you have to explain in detail what the poison does. You have to explain to him exactly what poison means and that it kills people. Children do not understand the concept of death and so you have to explain with an example, such as: "Two days ago the man across the road died, do you remember that? The same thing can happen to you if you drink from this bottle." The child will not touch the poison if you explain things in this way with details. Knowledge will come into practice. That which does not come into practice (amal) is ignorance (agnan); it means that one has not attained the total understanding in a methodical manner. If you copy someone else's mathematical answers, does that mean that you have grasped it? All this knowledge is mimicked knowledge; it is not real knowledge. The Lord's highest knowledge is when one is not affected by anyone's ill treatment, he accepts that as his fault, and he does pratikraman for this. This verily will take him to moksha. If you live by just one word or a sentence of ours, it will take you to moksha. Of what use is anything else?
People have no understanding of what samayik means either. They have no idea of the definition of samayik. In samayik that which one does not want to remember, and decide to keep out, is verily the thing that explodes first within. If you decide that you do not want to think about your shop when you sit down to do your samayik, the first thing that pops up will be your shop. This happens because the mind is reactionary. The first thing that will come to your mind is the very thing that you are trying to avoid. If you say, "I am now starting samayik, all of you are invited", they will not come. Once the vibrations arise, it is all over. The Self has infinite energy.
When you follow just one single word of 'ours' when someone insults or harasses you, and upsets you that, "This is all due to the unfolding of my own karma. The other person is
