difficulties that arise out of worldly love. The whole world is trapped in such difficulties. So do not become too attached to people. Keep your distance. Do not have worldly love for anyone and do not be trapped by his or her worldly love. But you will not be liberated if you spurn someone else's love either. Beware! If you want to be liberated, be thankful to those who oppose and contradict you. Those who shower worldly love on you bind you and those who oppose you, help you towards your final liberation. You have to free yourself from those who shower you with love, but make sure that you do not reject them in the process. It is through rejection of worldly love that this whole world has arisen.

The Lord says that internal difficulties that arise out of abhorrence are beneficial. One can never be free of internal
The Self is unattached and free, and You are That. It is not something that I have given you. It is actually 'your own real nature but you may think that Dada has given you this unattached state, and this makes you feel indebted to Dada. There is no need to thank me. Furthermore, if I were to believe that I am benefiting you, then my love will begin to change. I cannot believe that I am obliging you. Therefore, I have to remain in complete understanding and in absolute awareness.
The detached state is your own nature. What do you think? Is it something that I have given you or is it actually your own inherent nature?
Questioner : My own nature!
Dadashri : Yes, say it like that. If you say, "Dada gave me", to everything, then when will it all end?
Questioner : But it was you who made us aware and awakened us, Dada.
