Aptavani-6
become a purush (the Self)? You cannot afford to lose sight of the direction you are headed. Now there is only one direction: one of purusharth, purusharth, and purusharth!
This union with the Self (yog) that we have given You is such that it will express your infinite energies. Therefore, go home and start a forceful purusharth. Tell the rest of the mosquitoes (kashays), 'Get out! You are not allowed here!
Dadashri: Do I have to come to kill maya or do You have to do it? I have to take care of certain things for You; the rest You have to do yourself. Now you have become a purush (the Self) and so you have come into purusharth; you have to use the energy of the Self. How can maya come after you have become a purush? If you begin yog (union) for one hour with the supreme Self, it will turn the worldly life upside down: such is the union (yog) with parmatma that I have given you. The whole universe is transcended; such is the union with the Self (yog) that I have given you! But what can anyone do if you do not make use of such a yog?
Questioner: The universe does not turn upside down, but I do.
Dadashri: No one will let go of this union with the soul (Atmayog) once they have it in their hand. It can get rid of anything within an hour.
Questioner: Up until today. I thought Dada himself will guide me one day, therefore, I never said anything.
Dadashri: Dada will do everything, but only if some mahatma becomes lost or goes astray, then 'we' have to place protection for him; otherwise, there would be no end to it, will there? Dada has a lot of work to do. Dada has to do yog (union with the Self) all day long. He has to go to America. He has to go to England; He travels in subtle body) day and night. He is gracing the whole world. Peace and happiness must prevail throughout the world. Forget about religion, but peace must prevail.
Questioner: With us, we do things where we are not supposed to be doing anything, and where we should be, we do nothing.
Dadashri: That is where spiritual effort (purusharth) is required. Why are you not doing purusharth now that you have
You have enough energy within You to shake the whole universe. I have personally 'seen' it and that is why I have disclosed everything. So then what pleasure-seeking temptations (lalacha) have you become stuck in? And for what? Why should You become tempted, even if the whole universe comes in front of You? So get busy with your purusharth day and night. How can you sleep now? Now make your yog (union with the Self) complete. This yog has arisen after one million years and you have attained it with ease, in spite of having a spouse and children and all the worldly possessions. This yog is not something that will come again and again. This is a yog with the supreme Self (parmatma). This is no ordinary union.
Great awareness (jagruti) is required, complete awareness! Awareness over awareness, which is the ultimate awareness - and that is what we have here. We should remain 'asleep where the rest of the world is 'awake. Where we are awake, the world is asleep. keval gnan (absolute knowledge) means complete awareness. This awareness should be such that it has no shortcomings. Only the awareness (jagruti) is needed, that is all! By however much the awareness increases, You are that much closer to absolute enlightenment (keval gnan). In awareness (jagruti), one can see all his mistakes, provided he becomes impartial. You became impartial when You became a Shuddhatma. Where there is the belief, 'I am Chandubhai, there is partiality there. What kind of judgment can be given when one is the lawyer, the judge and the defendant himself?
