________________ Aptavani-6 75 Dadashri: No, the Gnani can destroy his own karma and help others destroy theirs too. Therefore, Lord Mahavir said this about those who are not Gnanis. Questioner: Does a Gnani have control over his non-Self complex of thoughts, speech and actions (prakruti)? Dadashri: No, he does not! But he is not affected by his prakruti. Prakruti does not have any effect over his independence and freedom. Even Lord Mahavir had to deal with the prakruti. Questioner: Having attained your Gnan, if a person does not experience a blissful state (samadhi) because of lots of karmic baggage, is it possible that vyavasthit shakti will one day clean the karmic baggage completely? Dadashri: Vyavasthit does not do any harm in all this. It is the unawareness of the Self (ajagruti) that does damage. If one moves under the influence of our' five Agnas, then he will experience continuous samadhi. One has to remain aware jagrut). When I give you this Gnan, I bring You into the awareness of the Self. Total awareness as the Self is called absolute knowledge (keval gnan). One can see all one's mistakes (dosh) once the awareness arises. One can see' up to five hundred mistakes daily and whatever mistakes are 'seen, definitely depart! Here, ours is a 'science' (Vignan); from the time one is able to see his mistakes, it is the beginning of him becoming a God. Otherwise, no one can see his own mistakes. How can one see his mistakes when he is the judge, he is the lawyer and he is the defendant? [9] Beginning of Kashay Questioner: I want to know about charge kashays and discharge kashays (kashays - inner hidden enemies of anger, pride, deceit and greed. Deluded behaviors that obstruct right knowledge and behavior and that perpetuate karma and involvement in the world.) Dadashri: The kashays that you are experiencing now, for example, if you become angry with someone, that is discharge kashay. But with that anger, if there is a presence of your belief (bhaav) of being the doer, then a new seed of charge kashay' is sown again. Questioner: During any discharge that occurs, is there also not a charge? Is cause karma (bhaav karma) also not in Dadashri: No. When the karma is discharging, the one who takes Gnan from 'us' can prevent the simultaneous charging that occurs. Then karma does not bind at all. Questioner: Is there some kind of a test for proving that something is a 'charge and something else is a 'discharge"? Dadashri: Yes, there is. You will know everything that happens. If a charge is taking place, then there is restlessness (ashanti) within; the bliss (samadhi) will break. And if there is no charging, then the samadhi will not leave. Questioner: Can anger occur despite being in samadhi? Dadashri: The anger that occurs is discharge anger, but * * * * *
