Aptavani-6
established in his faith (shraddha) and he decides on that, then that is the very moment he attains the right vision (samkit). So if anyone wants to attain samkit, I tell him if he makes a decision to not get into conflict with anyone, then I guarantee that he will attain samkit upon making that decision.
Questioner: Do conflict (gharshan) and collision (sangharshan) between people wound the mind and the intellect?
Dadashri: You know! It's not just the mind and the intellect, but they continue to wound the whole inner mechanism of mind-intellect-chit-ego (antahkaran) which, in turn, affects the body too. Therefore, gharshan causes so many difficulties.
Questioner: Can we say that a true non-violent inner intent (ahimsak bhaav) has arisen if we decide not to get into conflict with anyone?
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. Once you know from Dada what benefits' there are in running into a wall, then how much will you gain from having gharshan with God? In knowing just this much, there will continue to be changes.
It is not possible to completely understand non-violence (ahimsa), and to understand it completely is a serious and a weighty matter. Instead, if you just hold on to, 'I will never get involved in conflict (gharshan),' then all the energy will remain intact and it will begin to increase day by day. Then you will not incur the losses caused by gharshan.
However, if ever gharshan does occur, and you do pratikraman (ask for forgiveness from the pure Soul of the one you have "hurt,' coupled with remorse of the wrongdoing) for it, then everything will be erased. Therefore, you should have the understanding that if gharshan occurs then pratikraman should be done for it. Otherwise, it carries a great liability. With this Gnan, liberation (moksha) will occur, but gharshan will create many problems and it will considerably delay your liberation.
There is not much problem if you have negative thoughts towards this wall because it is a one-sided loss since there is no reaction, whereas having even a single negative thought towards any living being creates a liability for you because here the loss is two-sided. However, all those mistakes get erased if you do pratikraman for them. Therefore, wherever gharshan occurs, if you do pratikraman, it leaves.
Questioner: Who causes conflict; jada inanimate; nonSelf) or chetan (the Self, the soul)?
Dadashri: Conflicts (gharshan) of the past life cause new conflicts. There is no question of jada or chetan here. The Self does not get involved in this at all. The non-Self complex (pudgal) causes all the conflicts. Conflicts of the past life cause conflicts again. Those who do not have conflicts of the past life unfolding anymore do not have any more conflicts in this life; otherwise, conflicts keep on increasing, one after another.
The pudgal is not completely inanimate. It is a mixture of the Self and the non-Self (mishra chetan). It is called vibhaavik pudgal. Vibhaavik means that it is a non-Self complex (pudgal) resulting from extra inner intent (bhaav). The extra bhaav arises as a third phenomenon when the Self and the non-Self come together. This is the ego, the intent (bhaav), which is, 'I am Chandulal'; and that is what makes you do everything. Pure pudgal, or pure matter, will not make one do this. This pudgal has become mishra chetan. The coming together (samipyabhaav) of the extra intent (vishesh bhaav) of the Self as well as the extra intent (vishesh bhaav) of the non-Self, the matter, is the reason for the third entity in the form of the ego; the new, extra entity is called prakruti. That is what is involved in all the conflicts!
Questioner: You say that all energies come to end through conflict. Can that energy be pulled back through awareness Gjagruti)?
