Arrangement of Vyavasthit
'Vyavasthit Shakti' Questioner: There is some energy regulating the world. Is it the vyavasthit shakti?
Dadashri: That is the vyavasthit shakti. How is its regulation (niyantran)? If you want to elevate water (say into a water tank) you have to use a pump (requires effort). And what if you want to empty the tank? You do not have to do anything. Someone may ask why? It is because it is the nature of water to flow downwards. This regulation occurs naturally, in the same way.
Questioner: Does vyavasthit control all the eternal elements that exist in the world?
Dadashri: Nothing has any control over anything else. This is an ‘uncontrolled' group; each one is independent of the other. Vyavasthit is something for you to know and understand. They themselves are not concerned about anything. Vyavasthit is Your ticket to reach the ‘station of moksha. With this ticket you can move forward. No one is under the control of another; they are all independent. In all of this, the Atma (Soul) is Parmatma (supreme Soul); it is chetan (life-force). Nevertheless, the other elements (five eternal elements) do not pay heed to it. All the other elements say: “You may be Parmatma, but what is it got to do with us? You are separate and so are we!”
