Aptavani-8
the karma, where awareness is lost, have adhered around it. Otherwise, the Self is pure. Even now your Atma is pure. Everyone's Atma is pure, but because the external form (swaroop) has come about, it is in that form, your wrong belief has arisen. From birth, you are given ignorance (agnan) in that form.
It is the worldly life (sansar), so from the moment the baby boy is born, he is presented with the ignorance. And they will say, 'Oh, it is a boy, a boy, a baby boy!' Then he is given the name Chandu, so they all start calling him 'Chandu, Chandu', so he starts believing, 'I am Chandu'. Then they introduce him to his daddy, and they introduce him to his mummy, and all that ignorance is presented to him. Because then he is told, 'You are Chandu, this is your mummy, this is your daddy'. He now has a wrong belief, which he cannot get rid of. Only when the Gnani Purush breaks that wrong belief, does the right belief set in, and it is then that things will be solved! So the Atma is really pure, but this is only a matter of the difference in the vision (belief).
Questioner: But how did this begin?
Dadashri: It is because of all the eternal elements coming together, that these situations arise! This worldly life (sansar) means the path of evolution (samsaran marg), and evolution (samsaran) means that it is constantly changing. And it is because of these changes that you feel that your Atma is impure; however I see your Atma as only being pure. It is only because of your wrong belief that you perceive it as being impure. I will fracture that wrong belief and replace it with the right belief, so even you will see it as pure.
This is just a deluded vision (mithya darshan) that has set in; where there is no happiness (sukh), you believe there is happiness there. When 'we' (Gnani Purush) give Gnan, a person finds the road in the right direction. And once he finds the path, things will fall into place. When 'we' change his deluded vision
