lingering effect taanto) and the obstinacy (aadayee) that brings Saturday's incident into Sunday?
Dadashri: There is no need to get rid of the obstinacy. You have to follow Dada's Agna. There is nothing to be said when you know vyavasthit. What does vyavasthit mean? You do not have any dispute or quarrel with anyone; that is vyavasthit. Vyavasthit is vyavasthit! You have to understand vyavasthit completely, and no one is at fault at all in this world. Any mistake there is, is as a result of your own mistake (from the past life). Otherwise, why would someone rob only you amidst all the people around you? You will not encounter anything without a mistake on your part.
There are two kinds of rewards. One is a million dollar lottery and the other is where only your pocket gets picked; that too is a reward. Everything is vyavasthit.
All Souls Are Separate
(sadhya) is to know Your own domain of 'knowership (kshetragnya). That is the nature (swabhav) of the Self. That swabhav is the goal.
You will not meet God as long as you are involved in partiality. Some people are partial towards the Vaishnav religion, some towards the Shiva sect, some are partial towards the Moslem religion, some are partial towards Jainism, etc., and so as long as they are in partiality, they will never meet God. This is the rule. It is God's rule not to meet those involved in partiality. God himself is impartial. One will understand this when he attains an impartial intent; view. What is the difference between those who are involved in sectarianism and those in the worldly life?
Obstinacy Questioner: What is obstinacy (aadayee)?
Dadashri: In the unconscious unaware state prior to Self-realization, when one realizes he has made a mistake, he will say such behavior was indeed necessary if someone were to question his actions. He will be very obstinate and adamant (aado). People will even tell him that he is being obstinate.
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: That is obstinacy. It is different if one is not aware of his mistake and covers it up. But it is a great obstinacy to cover up a mistake one is very aware of. Another type of obstinacy is if you had a disagreement at night with your wife and the next morning when she brings you a cup of tea, you will say, 'I do not want your tea or anything.' You become obstinate. The disagreement at night was last night. Yesterday was Saturday and today is Sunday. But one will drag the incident of Saturday into Sunday. Saturday's incident stays in Saturday, Sunday is a whole new day.
Questioner: What is the solution for breaking the
When you do not have any biases or prejudices, you are considered to have attained Brahmaswaroop (Self-realized). First comes the huge gate of Brahmaswaroop, where all different opinions become one. Brahmaswaroop is one whose speech is neutral and non-opinionated; it is not biased or prejudicial speech, or speech that would create its own followers. It is the speech that only is related to the Self and causes no divisions. Such a person is considered to have become Brahmaswaroop. After becoming Brahmaswaroop. the Self is the Supreme Self (Atma is Parmatma). So where is the need to talk about the pure Self (Shuddhatma)?
Questioner: Is there only one Brahmaswaroop, or are there many?
Dadashri: There is one and there are also many. From a certain perspective there is only one and from another, there are many. That is talking about Brahmaswaroop. Are you
