Aptavani-5
think that it is going to rain but the next minute the rain clouds will dissipate and move away. These are all illusory effects. It does not mean much. You simply have to investigate what the illusion is, and who the one trapped by it is. That is all You have to check
The chit remembers 'Dada', wherever you look You 'see' 'Dada'; that is a very good chit. Many people experience this, some to a greater extent than others. Dada Bhagwan is your own Shuddhatma (your own pure Self). Therefore, whether you keep your chit in Dada Bhagwan or your Shuddhatma, it is the same. Both keep the chit pure (shuddha).
The chit engaged in the worldly life is impure (ashuddha) chit. Impure chit is mishrachetan. When it becomes pure, it becomes pure chetan (shuddha chit). Shuddha chit is shuddha chetan. The awareness, 'I am Shuddharma', is Your state. That is called the state of the antaratma (the interim government).
Chit and Pragnya Questioner: Does pragnya shakti go out to wander like the chit does?
Dadashri: Only the chit wanders but it will not do so when it becomes pure. Impure chit will keep wandering. It will also go out to a party where the atmosphere is filled with the effect of alcohol. There is a lot of energy in the chit and that is why people get tired of it.
The mind does not trouble people as much, but the chit does. The mind does two things; in it sprouts good thoughts and bad thoughts, just like fireworks. Thoughts are gneya (that which is to be known) and You are the Gnata (the Knower).
The illusion makes you say, 'I am thinking, a thought came to me.
Dadashri and His Disciple Dadashri: Will you do this kind of crooked business again? Do you want to become an animal?
Questioner: No.
Dadashri: You can fall down with these two legs - instead if you had four legs, at least you will not fall, will you? And as a bonus prize you will get a tail so that you can go around jumping! So do you want something like that or do you want to be born as a human being again?
Questioner: I want to be a human being again.
Dadashri: Then you will have to have humane traits. If you treat others the way you would want to be treated, then you will become a human being. Would you like it if someone were to call you worthless?
Questioner: No, I would not.
Dadashri: Therefore, you should think about how the other person would feel if you were to call him worthless. So greet him warmly and tell him how good a person he is. He will be happy.
You feel hurt when someone lies to you, so then how hurt would he be if you were to lie to him?
You cannot take anything that is not rightfully yours. Do people not take things that do not belong to them?
Questioner: Many do.
Dadashri: They run away with someone else's wife too. One should keep a wife of his own. But here, men go around looking for someone else's wife. No one would object or say anything, including your family, if you were to have a wife of your own. So which hole would be better to fall in?
