Dadashri: One will experience it without fail. Happiness that is not dependent upon any external things will arise; happiness that you have never seen before. Such happiness is called bliss (anand).
Questioner: It should remain forever.
Dadashri: That happiness (sukh) will then never leave. Such bliss has arisen in everyone after taking this Gnan; they experience the fact that it has not gone. Then if you were to throw rocks at that bliss, it will hurt you, but nothing will happen to You if You remain in 'our' Agnas. "Our Agnas are very easy.
In Search of Bliss Dadashri: Why do you go to work young lady? Questioner: I must have brought that as my fate. Dadashri: Then, what do you do with the money? Questioner: I am looking for the Self.
Kashay (anger, pride, deceit and greed) should not occur. Do you experience any kashay?
Questioner: Yes, I do. Dadashri: Do you like kashay? Questioner: I do not like them but they do occur.
Dadashri: Kashay verily is pain and unhappiness (dukh). The whole world is in kashay. They do not like kashays but they are entrapped by them. Everyone is under the control of kashays, so what can the poor people do? They want so much not to get angry and yet inevitably they get angry.
What kind of happiness do you want, temporary or permanent?
Questioner: Everyone wants permanent happiness.
Dadashri: And yet people do not get permanent happiness. What is the reason for this?
Questioner: Such are our karmas, what else could it be?
Dadashri: Whatever the karmas may be, you have not found anyone who can show you or give you permanent happiness. If you ask the one who is experiencing such happiness to show you how you too can attain it, then your work will be done. But you have not found anyone like that. All whom you have met were themselves unhappy. Consequently neither their unhappiness nor yours has gone.
Only the Gnani Purush is in permanent happiness; permanent bliss. He remains in moksha. Your problem will get solved when you go to Him otherwise you will have to keep on wandering from one life to another. How can happiness ever remain in this era of the time cycle? How can it remain without knowledge of the Self? Ignorance of the Self is itself pain.
Dadashri: Only a rare person can find the Self. Not all living beings look for the Self. What are they all looking for? They are all looking for happiness; no living being likes unhappiness. Whether it is the tiniest of insects or a man; no one likes unhappiness. Now they all do have happiness but they are not content. What is the reason for that?
The happiness they have is not real happiness. True happiness is that which once you experience it, there will never be any more unhappiness. Everyone is looking for that kind of happiness. The experience of this happiness in human birth is called moksha (freedom from all forms of suffering - first stage of moksha). Then the ultimate) moksha occurs when all one's karmas come to an end. But the first stage of moksha should occur here in this life).
