Aptavani-6
Everyone has 'sticky' files (heavy accounts of karma) nowadays. If you had no sticky files, there would be no need for you to sit with the Gnani Purush for years.
Questioner: Dada, do something so that our files will disappear, just like that.
Dadashri: It is like this: Until the energies of the Self manifest (within you), your work cannot be accomplished. Now, if I do it for you, then that energy will remain dormant. You have to let them express, do you not? Do you not have to destroy the veils of ignorance over the Self? Those veils will begin to be destroyed from the moment you decide to settle the files. You do not have to do anything in it. All You have to do is have the inner intent (bhaav) to settle with equanimity, even if the file is very difficult.
You have to make the Self independent (niralumb). Until it becomes niralumb, dependency (avalumban) will remain, and it will not become absolute as long as there is dependency. Niralumb Self is the absolute Atma. So that is what you have to attain. Do not worry if you do not attain it in this life. It will happen in the next life for sure. All You have to do is remain in the Agnas and settle the files with equanimity, in this life. That is the greatest Agna, and how many sticky files can there be? It is not as if there are two hundred to five hundred sticky files, are there? There are only two to four, and really the fun lies in dealing with the sticky ones!
Questioner: Many times, it becomes very difficult to settle the sticky file; in doing so, I become ill and upset.
vaniyo (baniya cast businessman) would do business during the day and at night he would gamble away his money. When he came home, his wife would give him a good thrashing! One day the villagers came to get me, 'Come on Sir, this is something worth seeing! I asked them what was worth seeing. They told me, 'Why don't you at least come?' So we went there. The door was locked from the inside. The vaniya's wife must have been beating him with a stick but you could hear him saying out loud, pretending as if he is beating her, 'Here! Take one... here take another!' I said to my self, "This is interesting! We learned a new scripture today!' The villagers told me that his wife beats him every day and the baniya says, 'Take that!' Is this baniya not smart? This is what the world is like. You will find all kinds of things. The baniya preserved his reputation, did he not? We do not have to preserve four, the Self's' reputation in this way; four' reputation is already secure. All You have to do is 'Settle with equanimity.
One lawyer tells his client, 'Will you get lost from here or not? Or else I will make the dog bite you! This is called a lawyer! Even the clients are like that!
This world is without order, and there is no telling where one will be or what will be his state. We call it (the world) hollow, without substance (polumpol). The guilty one escapes and the innocent gets caught. If this is not called polumpol, then what is it? From the perspective of worldly interaction, this world is hollow and haphazard and from the perspective of natural order, it is absolutely just and in compliance with the natural laws. People do not know how to tally this calculation. Is whatever you see the account? No, no! Nature says that whatever you see before you is a settlement of a karmic account from the past life, and the settlement of the current account will come in the next life. Therefore, you have to suffer the consequences of your past mistakes. The fault is of the sufferer. Therefore, whoever is suffering now is verily at fault due to his
Dadashri: All that weakness will go away. However much of that weakness goes away; that much power (shakti) will arise within you. You will feel you have more power than before.
