Questioner: Whose directive (aadesh) have you received?
Dadashri: I have received the directive of the present time and space (deshkaad)!
Questioner: This talk of yours is scientific!
Dadashri: Yes, it is scientific talk. That is because there is no superior above me, to give me orders (aadesh). But I have received orders from time and place (deshkaad). When people hear the word orders, someone will always assume that I have a superior above me (upari). No, I do not have any superior at all. Moreover, in the worldly interaction (vyavahar), I am laghuttam (the lowliest of lowliest; smallest of all), but really speaking I am the most superior of all (guruttam).
So where is the problem? I do not want to be superior (guruttam) in worldly interaction (vyavahar), because all those that were superior in worldly interaction (guruttam in vyavahar), ended up, with four legs, from having two legs. That is the rule! That is if you are above others in worldly interaction, you will undoubtedly end up with four legs. And only if you have the humblest of intent (laghuttam bhaav) in your worldly interaction, will there be a solution. Insistence on a Single Viewpoint Obstructs
Atmagnan Now, one says that the Atma is not the doer, while the other says that the Atma is the doer, so they are both stuck in a hole. That one is stuck in the non-dualism (adwaita) hole, and this one is stuck in the dualism (dwaita) hole! The Atma is not like that. The Atma is dualistic - non-dualistic (dwaita-adwaita). On the grounds of the body (the non-Self), it is also dualistic, and as the Self, it is also non-dualistic. So if someone takes the adwaita (non-dualistic) hole, then he cannot prove the Atma. The one who is non-dualistic (adwaita) will continually have confusing thoughts about the one who is dualistic (dwaita), and
