Aptavani-8
Therefore, you need to either know the wheat, or know the grit, but it is fine if you know just one of them. If you wanted to separate the grit from the wheat, would it not do just to know the grit?
Questioner: When you know the grit, all the rest will be
the wheat.
Dadashri: So what they are saying is, 'If you know one, you will know both.' And this is why 'we' make you know the pure Soul (Shuddhatma). And so you will know the rest.
How do these people talk? 'Oh hey, Ben (sister), have you sorted the wheat yet?' What she is really doing is picking out the grit! Well, just look at our language! You go there and you say, you were saying that you were picking the wheat, but you are picking the grit! And she will reply, 'No, I am only picking the wheat!' Nevertheless, they still manage to pick out the grit! Why would people talk like that?
Questioner: They just do not have the right understanding!
Dadashri: This worldly life (sansar) is in the form of illusion (bhranti), so even what people say is all wrong!
Is the Atma Without Attributes or With Infinite Attributes?
If one could just understand the true meaning of what Lord Krishna has revealed, one could become a true devotee. Lord Krishna had uncovered the entire science, and he said that the four Vedas were trigunatmak (possessing three characteristics of the prakruti, the non-Self complex: rajas, sattva, tamas). These four Vedas are for the people. However, those who want to attain the final liberation (moksha), must go beyond the four Vedas, and come into the Gita.
Questioner: You have spoken about trigunatmak, but is not it said, that the Atma has no attributes (nirguna)?
