Aptavani-6
Therefore, as long as one does not have bliss of the Self, he will remain absorbed in some 'happiness' or other. But after one receives Atma Gnan, the knowledge of the Self, how wonderful is the bliss! You can keep that 'bliss' however you want. It is possible to remain in samadhi (the state of being unaffected despite all external turmoil and maintaining oneness with the pure Self). Therefore, it is possible to get rid of those other things. Our Gnan is such that if one remains constantly in the five Agnas, he can experience the same state as that of Lord Mahavir. Why does one not experience that? It is because of the force of his past life's karma. You may want to go north but the boat will take you south. Even then, You will be aware that that you want to go north but it is taking you south. You should never lose that awareness (laksha), and if on your way another boat owner shows you a few bottles of alcohol, and galgalia will arise within, then there is a problem. Then you will forget north and make a home right there. That is called atkan.
That is why 'we' are telling you to become free from every aspect of the worldly life. You have now become a purush (the Self) and, therefore, You will be able to do parakram (extraordinary spiritual effort) to remove a major blockade (atkan). Otherwise, man is entirely dependent on his prakruti (the non-Self), which is like a 'top' a spinning toy. You have now become free from that state as a 'top' and have attained the energy to do parakram. You are now able to do selfpurusharth and self-parakram. Furthermore, the Gnani Purush is with You, so where is the fear?
Questioner: Do we have to stay with you for that?
Dadashri: No, it is not a question of staying with me. But you should remain in touch increasingly, should you not? By staying in touch, will You not know that it went away? But how would you know if you stay away? And when you remain in touch, the energy to cure that disease will also arise. It is not
easy to remove the atkan and do purusharth through your own energy. Parakram can be done only when you take the energy from here.
First of all, you cannot recognize an atkan, or what form it is in or what its characteristics are. Therefore, you have to find the atkan by looking at the galgalia, where and under what circumstances they occur. Where does it make him, Chandulal, lose his sense (saan) and awareness (bhaan)? That is all you have to see.' How do you have to take care of this Chandubhai now? Tell him, 'You may eat and drink whatever you want. Follow Dada's Agnas. If there is any weakness in that, we will see about that.' But 'You' have to see where Chandulal has excitement with the temptation of pleasure (galgalia)! Keep an eye on him like a private detective because he has been stranded and left hanging, life after life, in the world due to his blockade impediment (atkan). And that atkan does not leave. Right now, because the Gnani Purush is here, he can free you from the atkan.
The Biggest Atkan is that of Sex
Laghuraj Maharaj, disciple of the Gnani Purush Shrimad Rajchandra, also known as Krupadudev, wrote to Krupadudev from Surat stating that he wanted to come to Bombay to do his darshan. So Krupadudev wrote back, "Bombay is a city of illusionary attractions (mohamayi). It is not suited for saints/ religious teachers (sadhus/acharyas). Here, illusion (moha) will possess you from wherever you look. If it does not get to you through the mouth, it will get to you through your eyes or ears. If not, then it will get you even from the holes in the body where air comes in and goes out! Therefore, it is not worth coming here.' What did Krupadudev name this place? He called it a mohamayi (illusionary attractions) city. I have given you Gnan in such a city, but does that mean that all the illusion (moha) has gone away? No, it is still a 'mohamayi' city that will delude
