stinging stops and the departure of the mosquito from the site of the sting. In the state of no suffering, one is able to tolerate the sting without the suffering
eternally unaffected, uncontaminated, and pure and remains separate. Nothing touches it and nothing sticks to it: That is what the Soul is like!
Questioner : Can one come to know The Self through the bliss of Self?
Dadashri : The Soul is bliss eternal. You have taken this Gnan, but the old ego and attachment that you have brought from your previous life do not leave easily.
Questioner : The One who is Bliss Incarnate, is his vision complete and absolute?
The Self is in the form of light, but not this kind of light. I have seen that light. It is indeed a light. A wall can obstruct the light from the headlights of a car, whereas nothing can obstruct the light of the Self. Even walls and mountains cannot obstruct it. Only the living body is capable of obstructing the Self.
Questioner : Why does the body obstruct it?
Dadashri : Because the living body is a mixture of matter and the Self. If there were only pure matter in the body, it could not be obstructed.
Dadashri : Yes it is complete and absolute but that state cannot be attained in this time cycle. The Bliss of the Self falls short in this era. A complete vision of three hundred and sixty degrees only occurs in full enlightenment, Keval Gnan. This state of bliss is not attainable in this era.
Can Mud Taint Light?
Questioner: Your example of the light and sewage was very pertinent.
Dadashri : Yes, but I only give it occasionally. Generally I do not use that analogy with everyone because it may be misconstrued and lead people astray.

Are you aware of the light of the Self? If the headlights from a car fall on the sewage, would the light rays be affected by the stench? Will the light take on the color of the sewage?
Questioner : No.
Dadashri : So then can this light become tainted with mud?
Dadashri : Now if moonlight illuminated the roads, would a person drive his car without turning on his headlights?
Questioner : Yes, he would.
Questioner : No.
Dadashri : The light can touch the mud, but the mud can never touch the light. Even when the headlight of a car has such properties, what would the light of the Soul be like? It can never be smothered or tainted at all. That is why the Soul is
Dadashri : And when he turns the lights on, he would see a myriad insects whirring around in the beam, bashing against the vehicle and being killed, but until then he was not aware of the insects being killed. With the lights tumed on he is filled with the doubt that, 'I am being violent. I am killing insects.'
So many people do not have the 'light' at all, which is
