Aptavani-8
And the ego (ahamkar) is anger (krodh) and pride (maan). This is how these four qualities (gunas) have arisen, thus the Gnani Purush separates two things: he makes a division, a line of demarcation between the Atma (Self) and the non-Self (anatma), so that they are separated! Furthermore, it is separate! It is indeed separate. When One Becomes Intellect-Free, One Can
Become One With All Questioner: But Veda gives us a description of oneness (abhedta), does it not?
Dadashri: Yes. But has everyone not given us a description of abheda (absence of difference or distinction; non duality; oneness)? But to attain oneness (abheda) is difficult. Unless you dissolve the Veda and drink it, you will not have oneness. That is because as long as the intellect (buddhi) does not leave, oneness will not arise. The intellect creates a division (bhed). Who creates division (bhed)? It is those with intellect; they are the ones that create division.
Now, if you wanted to make your whole village free of intellect (abuddha), then how long would it take? How long would it take to make a man without any intellect? Could it be done instantly?
Questioner: No, it cannot.
Dadashri: So until then, there cannot be oneness (abheda). You will have oneness, when the intellect (buddhi) goes. It is the intellect that creates differences: this is mine and this is yours; it makes a person emotional.
Questioner: Is it the intellect that makes you emotional, or is it the heart which makes you emotional?
Dadashri: No, only the intellect (buddhi). Even someone without intellect (an abuddha) has a heart.
