Aptavani-6
impediments arose in them. In studying people, 'we' can easily tell what kind of past impediments people have. The current knowledge tells you that all this is wrong; this cannot be 'Yours.' But what can You do when those 'wedges' of karma effects express? You have no choice but suffer-experience them. They will give bitter and sweet experiences. They could be sweet at times and bitter at other times. Do you like to experience pleasure?
As long as you find sweetness in your likes (gamo), the bitterness in the dislikes (ungamo) will remain. The moment the liking (gamo) for pleasure ceases, the dislike (ungamo) towards pain, will come to an end. How long will there be a liking for pleasure? It will last as long as the opinion that 'true happiness, bliss, lies only in moksha,' has not become strong enough. This opinion still remains weak. Hence, you need to keep reminding yourself that, "real pleasure, bliss, lies in moksha, and everything else is false.' Every other moment, 'You' should keep reminding 'Chandubhai' and make him understand this. If you are all alone in a room and no one is around, You should tell 'Chandubhai, you should talk to him, 'Chandubhai! Have a seat, understand these facts! When there is no one around, who is going to know what kind of a drama you are doing? If there is someone else in the room, he will wonder whether you are crazy. Hey, you! I have not gone crazy, in fact, I am removing the craziness that is there.
Another person may still comment, 'You are talking to Chandubhai; what kind of a person are you? Are you not Chandubhai yourself?' Therefore, when you are alone in your room, all by yourself, close the door and speak to Chandubhai, 'Have a seat Chandubhai, let us have a talk; what do you gain from doing this, and that? Why don't you become one with Me? There is endless bliss with Me! Chandubhai is separate from You and hence You have to say all this. Just like we have to make young children understand, similarly 'Chandubhai' needs
to be told. Only then will he shape up.
Samayik in Front of the Mirror Have you ever scolded Chandubhai in the mirror? Have Chandubhai sit in front of a mirror and tell him, 'You have done a good job of printing books, giving donations to propagate this Gnan; but you also do other things such as this and that. Why do you do this?' Should You not talk to yourself this way? Instead of just Dada telling Chandubhai, if You too were to talk to him, he will listen. He will accept it more if it comes from You! What goes through your mind when Dada tells you things? 'Why does Dada tell me things when the one within' who is close to me does not say anything? Therefore, You should scold 'Chandubhai' yourself.
You know how to see mistakes in others but you do not know how to see even a single mistake of yours. However, You do not have to get rid of the mistakes; You just need to scold 'Chandubhai' a little. You already know your, Chandulal's, mistakes so now You need to scold 'Chandubhai' gently. He is meek and humble, but at the same time he is also very proud. He is pride-filled (a maani) in every way. Therefore, if You coax him and appease him a little, Your work will get done.
Now when will You practice such a scolding? You may hire one or two people at home to do the scolding, but they will not scold you genuinely, will they? Only genuine scolding will bring forth a positive outcome. Fake scolding will not bring forth results that will work. When anyone scolds you, should You not take advantage of that? But you do not know how to arrange for something like this!
Questioner: I would not like it if there were someone around to scold me.
Dadashri: You do not like that. But if there were someone to scold you all day long, then you would know how to deal
