Questioner: Does the ego play a part in deciding the goal (dhyeya)?
Dadashri: It is the ego that decides the goal (dhyeya). Once you have the goal (dhyeya) of moksha, and a dhyata that is egoless, then that is shukladhyan.
Questioner: Is there a subtle presence of the ego in the dhyeya of dharmadhyan?
Dadashri: Yes, there is. Dharmadhyan cannot occur without the ego's presence.
Questioner: Would you say that artadhyan, raudradhyan and dharmadhyan, are states of the pudgal (non-Self complex)?
Dadashri: Yes, those are states of the pudgal, and shukladhyan is a state of the Self.
Questioner: So could you say that shukladhyan is the result of the Self?
Dadashri: Yes.
Questioner: Is it true that karmas that arise in shukladhyan will be good, and those that occur in dharmadhyan will be slightly inferior?
Dadashri: If one has shukladhyan, in the Kramic path, then there will not be any charging of karma. This is the Akram path, and the karma here, have no 'doership'. They occur in the form of discharge’. You have attained this Gnan without even having to discharge your karma first!
Results of Dhyan
Dhyan yields its fruit (consequences). What are the fruits of raudradhyan? It gives rise to an evil disposition within a person.
