[19] The Problem of Compulsive Lying
345
Dadashri: Whatever 'Chandulal' does is in the form of discharge. Nothing can be changed in that. Discharge (effect) can never be changed. Have you ever heard that? You can make changes when taking an examination, but can you change the result?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: So, this all is a result.
Questioner: But if something wrong continues to be done, will I have problems in my next life?
Dadashri: You will not. All You have to do is to tell 'Chandulal' to do pratikraman. Even the good things one does in the non-Self-realized state comes back in the next life. 'We' (the enlightened ones in Akram Vignan) do not have anything to do with right or wrong. 'We' just have to let everything discharge (nikaal). 'We' have to get rid of the 'shop.' Whether the stock is good or bad, we just have to get rid of it all. Now, all this is an effect.
A Firm Determination to Remain in the Agnas Questioner: We have to live on the basis of the Agnas you have given us, is that not so?
Dadashri: You have to live by and follow the five Agnas. That protects the Atma and the Agnas protect the Gnan. It is not difficult, is it? (328)
Questioner: No, they are difficult for sure. The equanimity you have told us to maintain means that we should not get angry with anyone, or we should not say anything to anyone.
Dadashri: No, you have to decide that, 'I want to settle with equanimity,' that is all. You do not have to 'see' anything else. You do not have to 'see' whether it occurred or not.
Questioner: In whatever manner it may occur, is that so?
346.
Pratikraman
Dadashri: 'You' do not have to enter into that complexity (bhanjghad) at all. Now, after Gnan, there is nothing as right or wrong. That which is right for the Hindus is wrong for the Muslims. And that which is right for the Muslims is wrong for the Hindus. As far as God is concerned, there is no such thing as right or wrong. They are just worldly arrangements. All He says is to do pratikraman if you hurt anyone. You should not hurt anyone. The belief that 'I am Chandulal' is true for the world, but in the realm of the Lord (the Self), there is no 'Chandulal'! This worldly truth is untruth there.
The worldly life will continue. It will not hinder you and Your work will get done; that is how things will work. You just have to follow my Agnas with devotion. Tell 'Chandulal' to do pratikraman. Telling a lie is an attribute of the relative self (prakruti) and, thus, it will not refrain from doing so. I do not object to telling a lie. I object to not doing pratikraman after telling a lie. When you tell a lie and, at that time, you have the inner intent (bhaav) of pratikraman, the meditation that is there is dharmadhyan (absence of adverse meditation). People are looking for dharmadhyan. When a lie is spoken, then request 'Dada' for forgiveness and ask for the energy not to do it again.
