________________ Aptavani-1 247 248 Aptavani-1 the mind is agitated or still, T is just the Observer of it. And that is why no more charging takes place. From now on whatever is to come your way, let it come. If it comes, that is fine and if it does not, that is fine also. also. As the old battery discharges, it is the effect of one's inability to endure the discharge that causes charging of a new battery. Along with charging, worries start. You feel a burning torment inside. A fire is kindled within and you are tormented with confusion and anxiety. Whereas that is not the case where only discharge is taking place. In discharge, you do not experience such suffering because you are not engrossed in it or part of it. You do not get involved in it. "Bhavkarma is the charge battery'. These five words encompass the essence of all the forty-five Agams of the Lord (The Cardinal Scriptures of Lord Mahavira). Otherwise it takes thousands of lives to destroy just one kind of moha. Questioner : What is the difference between kalpana (imagination), and desire? Dadashri : Kalpana arises out of ignorance of the Self, whereas desire is a discharge. But the root of desire is imagination, ignorance of the Self. Its like this - the rain falls from the sky but the sky remains where it is the wind moves around and the water on top mingles with the water at the bottom creating air bubbles. The rain continues to fall. It is not the desire of the water, the wind or the air to form all this...it simply occurs. Desire too occurs. This is how it all is. Questioner : How are we to know whether we have charged or discharged a karma? Dadashri : Charging starts from the moment you consciously feel 'I am Chandulal'. And charging ceases the moment you acquire the awareness of 'I am Shuddhatma'. However, if you were to meddle in the discharge process, then you will charge anew, but who would do so? Whatever appears as charge is really a discharge. You cannot tell when charge or discharge is taking place. If it were possible to know, then everyone would stop the charging process. No one except the Gnani Purush can shed light on this matter. It is because you are in the Self, the Shuddhatma state that there is only discharge. But if you become the non-Self, 'Chandulal', then there is charge The Lord says, 'I will take full responsibility for all discharge but do not let any charging take place'. The collective knowledge of all the scriptures of the world is contained in just these two sentences. The halting of charge means the end of discharge. Charged moha is equivalent to a promissory note, and discharge moha is cash in hand. I give you a guarantee that after meeting Dada Bhagwan, there shall be no more charging for you. Nature Of Moha There two kinds of moha: darshan moha or charge moha and charitra moha or discharge moha. Darshan moha depends on where your fascination lies. Desire for perishable things of the world is mithyatva moha (illusionary infatuation or wrong belief). Mishra moha is the co-existence of a desire for SelfKnowledge as well as a desire for temporary worldly things. It is a mishra moha to believe both the real and the relative to be the truth Samkit moha is an ardent desire to know the Self along
