of thoughts (vichaar). Whenever an attraction is going to occur, there will be a thought first. Thought arises in the mind and the mind is made of tubers (gaantho). The greater the number of thoughts about a certain topic, the larger its tuber!
Bhaavak and His Colors
weakness. Here, in the Akram path, You do not have the weakness. You have to maintain awareness here. The Self I have given you is verily awareness itself.
Questioner: Attachment (raag) occurs when one is not aware, does it not?
Dadashri: No, it is not like that. Now, after Selfrealization, You can never have raag at all. That which occurs is attraction (aakarshan).
Questioner: This attraction that happens, is that not considered a weakness?
There are all these 'k's' within you ('k' for karavnar = the doer). It is the bhaavak within you that makes you do the bhaav, inner intent. There is within you that which makes you do greed (lobhak) and that which makes you have pride (maanak). All these 'k's within you make you do bhaav. If the one doing the bhaav (the bhaavya), i.e., the relative-self (pratishthit atma), becomes involved in it, then a new picture is painted; new karma is bound.
Dadashri: No, it is not a weakness. The attraction and the Self have nothing to do with each other. All the attraction does is that it will not allow you to experience Your bliss. All it may do is that it may make You go through one or two more lifetimes (this refers to those who have received Gnan). There is a solution (upaya) for that here. Here they all do a special introspective process (samayik) of seeing the tubers (gaantho) and mistakes of the non-Self, the 'neighbor.' If you take this particular topic (vishay) and see it in samayik, then it (the tuber of that particular topic) will start dissolving and it will come to an end. Whatever you want to dissolve, you can dissolve it here.
One's worldly life (sansar) runs because of the presence of the Self. It will run even if the Self does not get involved in it at all. That is why I have discovered vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidences). In the step-by-step Kramic path, the belief is that life cannot run without the self's, the atma's, involvement in it, whereas 'we' have given you the science which states that scientific circumstantial evidences - vyavasthit shakti - will run (and take care of) everything.
Questioner: When abhorrence (dwesh) occurs to me, is the soul involved? Who does the dwesh? Am I the one doing
Questioner: If there is something like that, it would be quite useful.
Dadashri: There is. There is everything here. We will show you everything here. If there is a specific taste that is bothering you, you have to put that topic' in the special introspective process (samayik) and then keep seeing what it shows you within. All the tubers will dissolve merely by seeing them.
Attraction (aakarshan) can never take place in the absence
Dadashri: What happens when the atma (the self) gets involved? Attachment and abhorrence (raag and dwesh) will both happen. Now how will you know that raag and dwesh have occurred? When abhorrence occurs, worries and inner turmoil result. After attaining this Gnan, the Self never gets involved. Therefore, there is a constant state of peace, a blissful state (nirakudata) beyond easiness (akudata) and uneasiness (vyakudata). When such a state arises for You, it is considered
