does not have to make or do the intent. Everything is already settled within according to the receptacle of the intellect. He gets the 'idol' ready through pratishtha, 'I am Chandulal,' and then everything is settled according to what is carried in the receptacle of the intellect.
Questioner: 'I cannot do without a bungalow,' is the receptacle of the intellect. So where is the instillation of life (pratishtha) in this?
Dadashri: The pratishtha occurs automatically when one says, 'I am Chandulal. I did all this. I am her father-in-law. I am his uncle.' In this manner, an empty container (khokhu) is formed. Then what kinds of intents (bhaavs) occur? The answer is everything is 'sketched out' according to the receptacle of the intellect. Thereafter, internal changes occur according to the contents of the receptacle of the intellect.
Questioner: Who does the pratishtha?
Dadashri: It is the ego that says, 'I am this...I am Chandulal for sure, and this is my uncle.'
Questioner: One man drinks alcohol in the bars, another worships the Lord in the temple. What is all that?
Dadashri: One drinks because he had done deep inner intent (bhaav) in the past life, of, 'I cannot do without a drink.' So he drinks alcohol and he cannot quit the habit. He is not doing the pratishtha (the instillation of life) but while speaking, whatever is the intent is what gets printed in the receptacle of the intellect. It is very important to understand the receptacle of intellect. For all of us here in Akram Vignan, both new pratishtha and buddhi noh ashaya) come to a stop; nothing new is created. In Akram Vignan there is no new pratishtha anymore.
Questioner: Dada, please explain buddhi's ashaya in more detail.
Dadashri: The receptacle of the intellect (buddhi's ashaya) is when one person says, 'I only want to make a living through stealing and black market.' Another says, 'I never want to steal under any circumstances.' Another one says, 'I want to enjoy such and such (be in a remote place),' and so it will make a solitary place ready for him in order for him to enjoy. Merit and demerit karma (punya and paap) are at work in all this. One will receive all that is needed to enjoy according to the wishes he has made. He will even receive things he did not even imagine, simply because that was in his receptacle of the intellect (buddhi's ashaya). And when one has accumulated merit karma (punya), no one will be able to catch him when he steals. No matter how many traps they set for him or how vigilant everyone remains, he will not be caught. And when his merit karma (punya) comes to an end, he will be caught easily. Even a little child will be able to tell that he is doing something wrong. Buddhi's Ashaya and Bhaav (Inner Intent)
Questioner: So when he makes a decision about what he wants to enjoy, is it the buddhi's ashaya (the receptacle of the intellect) that is at work?
Dadashri: Yes, it works according to buddhi's ashaya. Whenever one makes an intent (bhaav) to enjoy something, he will have to enjoy it. Even if it is beyond his imagination, he will have to go through it, suffer or enjoy, providing he made the intent (bhaav) to do so. This is because in addition to buddhi's ashaya, there is the support of his merit karma (punya).
So with the pratishtha of 'I am this,' and 'this is mine, an entire body is created for one lifetime. Then, while doing the intent (bhaav), whatever was in his buddhi's ashaya is exactly what gets printed' (gets recorded to give effect). Everyone has a receptacle of intellect (buddhi's ashaya).
Questioner: Is buddhi's ashaya constantly changing?
