such fatigue? Many great teachers, priests, saints, ascetics and men of glory have not been without this feeling of tedium. Only the Gnani Purush does not have to experience tedium! One should deal with situations of mental and physical fatigue with equanimity, instead people try to look for ways to remove it or escape it. Arey! Going to the cinema, drama or doing other things makes one regress spiritually and in fact, the tedium is not removed, it is merely pushed aside for a little while only to return with double the force. This is because karma that has come into existence to give result will not spare anyone; one has no choice but experience its effects.
The difference between people's understanding of raag-dwesh (attachment-abhorrence) and the Vitarag's understanding of the same is comparable to the difference between milk and buttermilk. 'I am Chandulal' is attachment (raag). To falsely project one's self where one is not, is raag. The one who realizes 'I am Shuddhatma (I am a pure Soul)'has broken all attachments.
In their common understanding when people say 'I have a lot of attachment towards this person or that person, it is not correct. In fact, the Soul does not have the attribute of attachment. What appears to be attachment is really attraction of the parmanus (sub-atomic particles that cannot be further divided) and what appears to be dwesh (abhorrence), is in fact repulsion between the sub-atomic particles. This is all the ingenuity of the pudgal, the non-self complex, but one believes that attachment and abhorrence are occurring to 'me' and hence one inadvertently declares the Soul as having the attributes of attachment and abhorrence. The Soul is always vitaragi (without attachment) and will always remain as one.
'Love for agnan (ignorance) is raag and love for Gnan (enlightenment) is Vitarag."
Dadashri The foundation of this world is based on vengeance
(veyr). If vengeance is eliminated, the worldly life will be naturally eliminated. There is only one way to become free from vengeance and that is to settle all files with equanimity. In this day and age, to take refuge of this 'weapon' is invaluable. Dadashri has given us this 'weapon. Now, the one who goes to 'war' with this 'weapon' is a true valiant. Is the worldly life not but a war? Hence, in this 'war' you have to settle all your files with equanimity. The person, who goes to war with this weapon of Dadashri, will definitely be triumphant and what will be his victory? Mokshal Dadashri has referred to the presently acquired complex of mind, speech and body as a 'file' and once a person comes to attain this inner vision, he attains spiritual triumph!
In so far as a single charged particle is effective, can a relation with a receptacle (human being) filled with infinite particles be without effect? Whether that relation is with good company or bad company, the effect will definitely be there. And this 'satsang' ie association with the eternal; being in the company of Dadashri, is the only association that liberates one from attachments to all relations and circumstances. The meaning of the word 'satsang' here has a completely different connotation as compared to that used elsewhere in the world. The Gnani Purush, who despite being amidst all circumstances and association with others, remains eternally in a state free of all attachment. Anyone who attains satsang with the Gnani Purush will definitely attain freedom from all attachments. The satsang of such a Gnani Purush is fresh and new, every day of the year and every hour of the day.
With satsang, the subatomic particles of kusang (association with worldly things) will disperse and new and pure particles will enter.
