is happening and what is not. There is no problem whether you have bad thoughts or good thoughts, because the one who wants to get rid of his shop, will get rid of his stock whether it is good or bad.
'Kartapad chhe aagrahi, akartapad chhe niraagrahi.' *The state of doership is one of insistence; the state of nondoership is insistence-free.'
-Navneet
Now, there is no insistence for good or bad. There is no insistence for giving alms. When your karmas for giving alms unfold, and you do so, then they will discharge.
'Avichaar pad te shashwat Gnan.' *Eternal Gnan is the state where one is not the thinker.'
As long as you are engrossed in thoughts, it is a state of thinking (vichaar pad), and if You remain separate from those thoughts, it is the state of being separate from thoughts (avichaar pad).
Final Darshan
Questioner: How can we go to Mahavideh Kshetra? Is it through merit karmas (punya)?
Dadashri: You are binding merit karmas in this life when you follow my Agnas, and that will take you to Mahavideh Kshetra. By following the Agnas, dharmadhyan (absence of adverse internal meditation, artadhyan or raudradhyan) occurs and that will give rewards.
Questioner: When auspicious meditation (shubhadhyan) occurs, is it considered dharmadhyan?
Dadashri: Yes, but whether it is good (shubha) or bad (ashubha) meditation, it will occur only if there is a doer (karta). After this Gnan, whatever thoughts you have or whatever you do; if you give alms, etc., it is all a discharge.

Questioner: What about when we sing pados (spiritual songs of Gnan) here in satsang?
Dadashri: All that comes under following of my Agnas. The state of dharmadhyan, arising out of following the Agnas of the Gnani, will bring the highest state in a human form in the next life. By following the Agnas your next life will be beautiful; you will meet Tirthankars, then what more do you want? You have already attained the Self. Now You only have to go through the final step of doing darshan of the Tirthankar Lord and if you do that just once, it is more than enough. That which is obstructing Your full enlightenment (kevalgnan), will be removed. The Gnani Purush will take You all the way to where He himself has reached. He cannot take You beyond that point. To go beyond that point, He will take you to the One who has reached that point (Tirthankar); there is no other way!
The Self Is Never the Sufferer
A nephew of a man who comes here to satsang was burnt by acid. A burn from a fire is better than a burn from acid. The doctors became very concerned with his injuries and said he would not live more than three hours. I had given Gnan to the young man, and he told the doctors with a smile, 'Cut me whenever you have to, I am separate and Raju is separate.' The doctors were stunned listening to him talk in this way. He survived. He would have died had he not attained this Gnan. Half of the time a person dies from psychological effects of, 'What has become of me? How did this happen? This will never heal', etc., whereas Raju said, 'I am separate and Raju is separate.' When I went to visit him in the hospital, he was in very good spirits; he told Me, 'Raju is sleeping next to Me.'
All the doctors were astonished. They had never seen anything like this before. One might question, 'What is all this?' and the answer is, 'Dada is behind all this.' It is the splendor
