that 1/8 of the attributes of the siddha have arisen within you (siddhas are accomplished Lords, fully enlightened and in the bodiless state). The world is constantly in the easy-uneasy state (akud-vyakud); it is constantly struggling and that is why they look for a Gnani.
People believe that the soul (atma) does the inner intent (bhaav). In reality, the atma does not do the bhaav. It is the bhaavako, the doer of the bhaav within, that does the bhaav. Then if one believes what the bhaavako shows him to be right, he becomes involved with it. To believe the bhaav that arises within to be right is tantamount to becoming involved with it and taking part in it. This will sow seeds of new karma.
the bliss of the Self, the state of the Self, and will gradually go on to become fully enlightened.
There are two kinds of happiness. One is happiness derived from worldly things - a successful business deal or a profit, or getting children married - but that happiness is of easinessuneasiness (akudata-vyakudata). It is happiness of illusion. But when you experience the happiness of the bliss of the unaffected state (nirakudata), realize that you have attained the Self.
Questioner: What is the happiness of nirakudata?
Dadashri: The bliss (anand) that you experience here in satsang; that is nirakud anand. There is no easiness-uneasiness (akudata-vyakudata).
Questioner: Does bhaavak mean old karma?
Dadashri: Bhaavak means tubers of the mind. Some have tubers of pride, some have tubers of greed, some have tubers of anger and some have tubers of sex. These tubers are the troublemakers. After attaining Gnan, the one who can 'see the bhaav (bhaavya) does not get involved in the bhaav and, therefore, bliss (nirakudata) remains. Nirakud Anand - Bliss of a State Free of
Agitation and Bewilderment The happiness that is experienced in the world is happiness that is linked with the state of easiness-uneasiness (akudatavyakudata). After becoming a Gnani, the bliss of a state beyond easiness and uneasiness (nirakud anand) arises.
What happens in the happiness of akudata/vyakudata is that a constant, simmering disturbance (hanjhat) is taking place within. Here, such disturbance (jhanjhat) is not there and the outside world is forgotten (vismrut). If you experience happiness because of something, then its nature is happiness of the nonSelf (paudgalik), whereas this is natural and spontaneous (sahaj) happiness. Therefore, it is happiness (nirakudata); there is no easiness-uneasiness. One feels a deep-seated stillness within. There is no jumping with joy (oonmaad) here.
We become that with which we associate (parichaya).
Questioner: The state that you have attained in this time cycle with what you have given us, is it possible for us to attain the same state?
Dadashri: What other work do You have? You have attained happiness (nirakudata), have you not?
Questioner: Yes.
Unaffected bliss (nirakud anand) arises around the Gnani Purush. The non-Self (pudgal) has nothing to do with it, so then where does this bliss come from? The answer is that it is bliss of the Self (swabhavik sahaj sukh: swabhavik- of the Self; sahaj - natural; sukh - bliss; swabhavik sahaj sukh verily is the bliss of the Self). The one who comes to 'fit' into this, who experiences this, remains in the natural and spontaneous state of
Dadashri: Nirakudata is 1/8 the attributes of the siddha Lords. You have become 1/8" siddha so all that remains for
