life forms.
Vitaragata whether you are trapped in a situation of hard work or just sitting quietly, you will attain moksha. You get nowhere by sitting in solitude or by working hard all day. You attain moksha through vitaragata and when do you attain vitaragata? It is when your sankalp-vikalp (my-ness and I-ness) go away. Where do your sankalp-vikalp go? They go to the Gnani Purush when the Gnani's grace is bestowed upon you. Once this happens you become deserving of his blessings and when he blesses you, your sankalp-vikalp will go away. Otherwise they will not go even over millions of lifetimes. In trying to get rid of one vikalp, you will sow seeds for more, so four new ones will sprout!
As a result of all the rituals, one has received wealth and his brain has become more energized and bright. This has happened because he has read the words of the vitarag Lords. Such people started doing rituals using the words of the vitarags. Through this 'Vitarag brain tonic their brains became very bright and they have started deceiving and tricking other people with their sharp brains. They have resorted to deceptive ways and this is a misuse of sharp intellect. What is the intellect meant for? Is it for deceiving people or is it for attaining moksha?
Questioner: For attaining moksha.
Dadashri : Hmmm! Is the intellect for deceiving people? What if one takes advantage of a person with lesser intellect? Then he is considered a wicked beast. The Lord says He has never seen such wicked beast ever before. Nowhere else in the world, only in Hindustan are such beasts to be found and this disease has spread to China too. However, it is mainly in India. This disease of deception is just as virulent as the disease of tuberculosis. If I deceive you several times, you will then resort to deception yourself because you will say to yourself. "I cannot get anywhere without using tricks", and so this is how it spreads. This is a very grave and virulent disease. There is nothing like it, it is hard raudradhyan that will send one wandering into the four
That is all you have done in your past lives and these are the consequences of your actions. People have started misusing their intellect for acquiring money by deception. The Lord has said, "Because you keep falling down with two legs, you will now get four (Next life as an animal)!" Does it seem appealing to have to hear such things from 'us'? The Gnani Purush has to say, "Those with two legs will have four legs. "I am just waving a red flag to caution you not to proceed further in this direction. Gnani Purush has compassion for you all. Granis do not have any abhorrence towards anyone, but they do have compassion.
You have made so much progress that you have enough energy within you to ask for an immortal state (amarpad) from the vitarag Lord. This corruption of the intellect and its consequences is because the path of the vitarag Lords was obstructed and messed up. Under such circumstances one has to stay put until it clears, does one not? Do you like what I am saying? Or do you find it harsh?
Questioner : Dada, I like it very much.
Dadashri : The one who is within me is the fully enlightened Lord. And this body is just a 'packing! Pudgal (non-Self, that which forms and dissolves) cannot be God and any feeling and intents cannot be God either. God is God: He is the knower, the seer and is in eternal bliss. All your worldly desires can be fulfilled through Him. Your desire for liberation can be fulfilled through Him too. You will not be allowed into moksha if any desires remain unfulfilled. They do not let in anyone whose face looks like he just drank some castor oil! People look the way they do because of internal discord and restlessness. And what about their deceptive intellect? The shrewdness of their brains? Their brains are so deceptive that they do not think on an ordinary level. Ordinary people have no chance in their presence. So much deceptive cunningness!
