Aptavani-6
a file is a karmic event or person, which is very difficult to be free from as it possesses you). Similarly, when you know atkan as atkan, it will fall away. Lord Mahavir asks, Did you know the atkan?' One will reply, 'Yes.' So the Lord says, "Then you are free.' So it is up to you to see which 'room,' the Self or the non-Self, you want to sit in. If there are pebbles and stones flying outside, you have to sit in your own room' until the bell rings to inform you that it is clear for you to come out; then You should come out.
Questioner: When we talk about spiritual effort (purusharth), is the part of subtle understanding considered purusharth and does 'letting go of the reins of the senses (indriyas)' fall under this?
Dadashri: At the start of the morning, say five times with a pure inner intent that you are 'letting go of the reins of the senses.' Then simply see the free reins for one whole Sunday! But, instead, one worries, 'What will happen, what will happen? Hey! Nothing is going to happen; you are a God. What can possibly happen to God? Should you not have enough courage from being a God? (Tell yourself) 'Dada has given me the state of Godhood. Such is this Gnan that you have become a God. As yet, you are not getting the full benefit of it. What is the reason for this? It is because you are not even testing that state, are You? You do not use that state... but what if you try to remain that way a little?
And those opinions cannot be 'Ours,' they are all of "Chandubhai.' 'I am the pure Soul (Shuddhatma) that "Dada' gave me and Shuddhatma is parmatma - the supreme Self. It is important to understand this much. These five Agnas that have been given to You - they are for the protection of the Shuddhatma, the state of the Self.
Factory of Vengeance The law of settling with equanimity (sambhave nikaal) says that whatever it takes, You should settle with the other person without binding causing a new karma of vengeance (veyr). Become free from the karma of vengeance. There is only one thing worth doing here, and that is to ensure that vengeance does not increase and multiply. And what is the main factory for producing vengeance (veyr)? It is male and female sexual interaction.
Questioner: How does that bind vengeance? How is a seed of vengeance for infinite lifetimes planted?
Dadashri: It is like this: If we can put some kind of medicines in a dead man or a dead woman and make them look as if they are alive, then having a sexual interaction with them is not a problem. With them, you will not bind vengeance because they are not living. However, these are living beings and so you will bind vengeance.
Questioner: Why is vengeance bound there?
Dadashri: It is because the opinions (abhipraay) of the two are different, that is why! If you say, 'I want to go see a movie,' she will say, 'No I want to go to see a play.' Therefore, the timings (opinions) do not match. If the timings match exactly then go ahead and get married!
Questioner: So to remain desire-less and uninterested in the pleasures of the five senses; is it the same as living without opinion (abhipraay)?
Dadashri: You should be completely free of opinions. There should not be any opinion whatsoever. If you have the slightest opinion, if it is hiding somewhere, then you should remove it. The opinion. There is pleasure in the worldly life, there is pleasure in these five senses,' should not remain at all.
Questioner: Nevertheless, there are some people for whom whatever they say they want, it does happen.
