done. The prakruti can be good today and turn out bad tomorrow. You do not have anything to do with it. The Lord says, 'You do not ruin Your goal and liberation.'
Human nature is such that one becomes like his prakruti. When the prakruti does not improve he says, 'Ah! Forget it!' Hey you! Do not worry if it does not improve, You just improve things from within. Then it is not Your responsibility. That is how scientific all this is. There is no responsibility on Your part whatsoever, for anything that is going on externally. If you understand only this much, you will be able to solve your problems. Do you understand what I am saying?
Questioner: Yes, I do understand.
Dadashri: What did you understand?
Questioner: I simply have to 'see'; I am not to become one with it (tadatmya).
Dadashri: Not like that. Even if you become involved with it, you should immediately say, "This should not be so. All this is wrong.' The prakruti will do everything because it is irresponsible. But by simply saying this much You become free from all liability. Now do you have problems with any of this?
Questioner: There is no problem, but this awareness is not there at the time of anger.
Dadashri: Our Gnan is such that it will keep you in awareness. You will do pratikraman (the process of asking for forgiveness for any wrong doing or hurt caused to others) and everything else. Does awareness remain for you or not?
Questioner: Yes it does, Dada.
Dadashri: Every time?
Questioner: Yes, every time Dada.
Dadashri: Our Gnan is such that it will constantly keep

You in awareness and awareness itself is the Self.
The prakruti will even have opinions and everything else, but you should become free of opinions. You are separate from the prakruti. This 'Dada' has made that separation for You. Thereafter You have to play your role separately. You should not get involved in problems of 'Chandubhai'.
Ways of the Vitarag
The vitarag Lords have said, to bind the opinion, 'these people are like this...' is an offence; a fault.
All 'we' can do is caution you, but 'we' cannot do anything if you take it the wrong way, can 'we'? Even Lord Mahavir's own disciple, Goshada, had turned against Him. While preaching in front of Lord Mahavir, he claimed, 'I too am a Tirthankar.' Now, what can Lord Mahavir do here? Such people were to be found even in those days, so if today we come across a few people like that, can we oppose them? Besides it is good when you have such people around, is it not?
What is the science of the Vitarag (absolutely free from attachment and abhorrence) like? The science states, when you form an opinion, 'this person is wrong and this person is at fault', then you are liable. Not only can one not give an opinion but even the way you 'look' at it should not be tainted. I remain superfluous - detached. There are so many mahatmas here and I am aware of many facts about their intimate life but why would I meddle? This Gnan is not to be abused.
Questioner: Such a question does not arise for the Lord because to Him there is no such thing as right or wrong.
Dadashri: That is in the Lord's vision. Here such a question does arise. Until one becomes a God, he is liable.
Questioner: But after that the question of what is right and wrong becomes irrelevant, does it not?
