Aptavani-4
59
Dadashri: If they did not have to suffer the pain in spite of their good karma, where would they go? Everyone has to suffer his or her pain. The experience can be pleasant (shata) or it can be unpleasant (ashata). When one's daughter gets married, one has experience of pleasure (shata-vedaniya), but after the marriage, when the son-in-law comes to ask for money, it gives rise to unpleasant experience (ashata-vedaniya). All the external experiences of pleasure or pain are in the control of vyavasthit, and the inner happiness that prevails is the purusharth. Kramic Path Is Dependent on Illusory
Purusharth What is prarabdha? It is not in our hands (satta). It is under the control of another, and yet if we believe that it is in our control, that is our purusharth. “I did this, I did that”. Although you are not the one doing it, you claim that you are. This is your misconception which is a purusharth. It is called an illusory effort (bhrant purusharth). And from the moment the awareness that, 'I am not the doer' arises, the illusory effort (bhrant purusharth) stops and the purusharth towards moksha begins.
Questioner: Will the feeling of “I am not the 'doer”” occur only if it is in the destiny?
Dadashri: It will only occur if it is in the destiny. However, it will not work just by saying that it is all in the destiny. After attaining the Atma (the Self), the real purusharth begins. If not, there is always the illusory effort! There is the illusory effort of the illusion (that “I am Chandubhai'), and there is the real purusharth of Gnan (that 'I am pure Soul'). Both continue to occur. The purusharth of Gnan will take You to moksha, and the purusharth of the illusion will make you wander around interminably in the worldly life.
