(14) THE IMPORTANCE OF THE FIVE
AAGNAS SPIRITUAL PRACTICE AFTER GNAN
Questioner: What should one do spiritually after this Gnan?
Dadashri: The only endeavor is to follow the five aagnas. One should not have any other endeavors. All other endeavors cause bondage. These five aagnas release you from bondage.
BLISS WITH AGNAS Questioner: Is there anything higher than your five aagnas?
Dadashri: These five aagnas are a fence protecting your priceless treasure. If you have a fully enclosed fence, nobody can take away the priceless treasure that I have given you. If this fence of five aagnas, becomes weak then the chance is that someone will enter and spoil the contents. Then I have to come and repair the fence. So if you stay within the five aagnas, I guarantee your eternal bliss.
These five aagnas are given for your protection. I have given you the Gnan and the knowledge of separation. But in order for this separation to prevail, I give you the five aagnas for further protection. This age is that of kaliyug (deceit, dark age), and without protection, you are likely to be robbed of this invaluable treasure of Gnan. For the seed of Gnan to blossom into a fully bloomed tree, you will have to water it and nurture it. You will have to provide protection and create a small enclosure to protect the young sapling.
FIVE AAGNAS LEAD TO THE STATE OF
THE LORD Dadashri: The five aagnas are simple, are they not? Questioner: But they appear difficult in daily experience.
Dadashri: They are not difficult, but it seems that way because of the discharge of a large stock of your karma from past life. At such times you need to be more aware. Spiritual laziness under such circumstances will not do at all. If you remain within my aagnas, you can experience the bliss of Lord Mahavir. It is the previous tendencies of the mind that do not let you stay in the five aagnas. Maintaining the 'KnowerKnown state (the state of 'T' in the correct place as the Knower or Observer and the 'Known' being file number one, Chandulal), you will be beyond these tendencies of your mind. Do not accommodate these tendencies. Do not be pleased with any of your previous tendencies. They may express in all different ways and may dance around you and mesmerize you. That does not mean that 'You' have slipped. They may even cause variable anxiety and tribulation. If this happens, it only clouds the state of your Real bliss. If your peace is interrupted, it is because of these prior tendencies.
With determination you will be able to follow the aagnas. But the problems occur when one is indecisive. You have to make this decision, 'I want to stay within the aagna'. Such a determination is possible, is it not? If this is not possible on a daily basis, why not take one day at a time and experience the bliss that follows by resolutely following the aagnas every instant? I am not telling you to follow my aagnas. I am telling you to make a decision to follow my aagnas. UNFLINCHING DECISION MAKES YOU
FOLLOW AAGNAS
