gross mind; we put aside all gross actions; we put aside every action of the body. Everything changes after I give you the knowledge of the Self; otherwise you continue to function through the dictates of the discharging mind (dravya mun).
Dadashri: There is no need for intellect if you want to go to moksha. The intellect makes you wander around in the worldly life. It looks for profit and loss wherever it can. Even when you are travelling by train, it will show there is benefit in sitting here and loss in sitting there'. The hunger of the intellect is such that it can never be satisfied. You need something that has an end. The whole world moves around in intellect driven knowledge.
No one can know the charging mind (bhaav mun). They can understand that there is bhaav mun but they do not know how it functions.
Questioner: Is that what we call 'unconscious'?
Dadashri: Yes, that happens under the cover of the ego, it does everything in the dark. If the darkness of the ego were not there, everything would be visible. This is a very subtle thing. The Path of Intellect and the Path Without
Intellect
Questioner: Should we go beyond the intellect?
Dadashri: There is no choice but to go beyond the intellect. There is no liberation until then. The Agna of the Gnani Purush and Swachhand
Questioner: Why is it said that the Vitarag is encompassed within the Agnas of the Gnani Purush?
If you want to develop in the worldly life, follow the path of the intellect (buddhi) and if you want to take the path of liberation, follow the path free of intellect (abuddha). 'We are abuddha; "We do not have any intellect at all. Intellect makes one sensitive. There are two types of intellect: one is right intellect (samyak buddhi) and the other is misguided intellect (viparit buddhi). Here when satsang takes place, your misguided intellect will take a turn and become right and that right intellect takes You to moksha.
Questioner: Does full enlightenment (kevalgnan) occur after one becomes intellect-free (abuddha)?
Dadashri: There is no other way besides the Agnas, is there? The one who does not follow the Gnani's Agna is not worthy of liberation. He will be able to follow the Agnas when he becomes worthy; otherwise, swachhand to act on the guidance of one's own ego and intellect) will arise. That is why Shrimad Rajchandra has said:
Roke jiva swachhand toh, paame avashya moksha,
Paamya em anant chhe, bhakhyu Jina nirdosh. Pratyaksh sadguru yogathi swachhand te rokaya,
Anya upaya karya thaki praye bamano thaaya.' 'If a being is able to stop his ego oriented actions, he will
attain moksha without fail, "Countless have attained moksha in this way", states the
knower of the Absolute. With direct meeting with a Sadguru-Gnani, ego oriented
action is halted, Resorting to any other way, only serves to double it.'
Dadashri: Kevalgnan will never happen without one becoming intellect-free. Wherever there is intellect, there is always the presence of the worldly interaction ego; even if one has Self-realization. Wherever there is no intellect, there is no worldly ego.
Questioner: So is it better to have intellect or not to have intellect?
