Aptavani-4
367
The world has been like this ever since it began. In Satyug (Time cycle of unity in mind, speech and actions) the environment was not so spoilt, but today, its effect is worse. Don't you think, that in the days of Lord Rama, when there were kidnappers who abducted Sita (His wife), that they would not be around today? This is never-ending. This ‘machinery' has been like this from the very beginning. One has no insight, one has no idea about his responsibility, so do not say anything irresponsible. Do not act irresponsibly or do anything irresponsible. Take everything positively. If you want to do something good for someone, then go and do it. But do not do things that are bad, and do not have bad thoughts. Do not listen to anything bad about someone. It is very risky. Otherwise, in this huge and vast world, moksha lies right there within you, and yet you cannot find it!!! And besides, you have been wandering for countless births!!!
In ordinary worldly interaction (vyavahar), speaking is not a problem. But when you say anything negative about a human being, it gets ‘recorded inside him! If you want to record a 'tape' of those in sansar (people), how long does it take? If you provoke someone even slightly, it will create the provocation and a hostile intent (pratipakshi bhaav) will continue to be “taped' (recorded). “You have so much weakness in you, that even before provocation, you will start speaking.'
Questioner: Let alone not saying anything negative, we should not even have a negative inner intent (bhaav), right?
Dadashri: You should not have that kind of bhaav, that is true. Whatever enters your bhaav, will inevitably come out in your speech. Therefore, to stop speaking, will also stop the bhaav. This bhaav is an echo behind the speech. There is no way to prevent a bhaav of hostility (pratipakshi bhaav) from surfacing now, is there! I do not have such bhaav. You have to also reach that state. That weakness of yours needs to go, so
