another pamphlet. The mind is not such that it has to hang on to the previous thought. You should not become one (tanmayakar) with the mind. This world is around because of one becoming 'one' with the mind. All the intents of the mind are discharge intents (effects). When you become one with it, it gives rise to new charging intents (causes). You should not take on the feelings of elevation or depression. Nothing is going to happen; nothing is going to be ruined. Not even for a moment do I dwell in the worldly life, even then nothing gets ruined.
Questioner: So is there no need to harbour fear?
Dadashri: You should not have any fear at all. You are Shuddhatma (pure Soul); nobody can see You, nobody can hurt You, nobody can kill You, nobody can challenge You! This world remains because of your own 'ghosts' (effective mind, speech and body) and irrational fear. Nobody interferes with You. And if 'Chandubhai' is down a little bit, then You need to help him. You had no one to confide your problems to. Now I am with you all the way. Why are you so worried? I am the Lord. You are 'Chandubhai', therefore do not be afraid. If *Chandubhai' is elevated then tell him, 'This pompousness of yours is because of my realm.' Run your foreign department (non-Self) by remaining in the 'home department' (Self). This Gnan is such that nothing can smear it (nirlep), i.e. it cannot be besmeared upon; nothing will touch You.

Questioner: But can we pass our misery on to You?
Dadashri: Yes, yes. You have to give it to Dada and say, "Go to Dada. What is there for you here? I have given everything to Dada, so why have you come here?
Questioner: Should we give our happiness too?
Dadashri: No, keep your happiness to yourself. I do not have a need for happiness, so keep it to yourself. Send your misery to me if you cannot handle it. If you insult the pain and suffering a few times by saying, 'Why have you come here?' it will not stay because you have given it away to Dada. The nature of the pudgal is such that if you insult it, it will not linger around.
'Dada Bhagwan' (the absolute Self within) is achintya chintamani (One that cannot be envisioned of and yet makes you what you envision). One becomes what one envisions. If you envision (chintavan) Him (Dada Bhagwan) during difficulties, all those difficulties will go away. Whatever you envision; that will be the fruit you will reap. Then what is there to fear? The Account of Like and The Account of
Dislike Are Separate Questioner: Many times I do not like someone's behavior even if it is good.
Dadashri: After the karmic account of liking is over,
It is important for you to understand in detail all the facts about the mind; to understand all the keys to the mind. For example, if a policeman keeps coming and going from here, does that mean he is going to raid us? You should say, 'No, it is not like that. They are fixing the road ahead.' So what should you understand? Have they come for your benefit or have they come to harm you?
