they not?
Dadashri: You know what? Even now you are binding karma. At this moment, you are binding very high merit karma (punya). But the day when you will not bind any karma never comes, does it? Why is that?
Questioner: We must be doing some kind of activity, good or bad, must we not?
Dadashri: Yes, but shouldn't there be a way where one does not bind any karma? How did Lord Mahavir attain liberation? He did not bind any karma. Karma is bound to occur as long as the body exists! One has to eat, drink, go to the toilet, does he not?
Do You Get Upset if You Hear Insults
Recorded on a Tape? Questioner: This mind-speech-body is the non-Self and under the control of another entity (Mun-vachan-kaaya par chhe ne paradhin chhe). That means it is dependent on vyavasthit, does it not?
Dadashri: Yes, it is dependent on scientific circumstantial evidences - vyavasthit. It is not dependent on the Self; that is what 'we' are saying. Par means that it is not Yours and paradhin means that you do not have any control over it. It will not happen according to your subtle plans.
If someone curses you, it is dependant on something else (paradhin). 'We' say that it is a 'record' (gramophone or tape record). What is the reason for saying that? It is because 'he' simply does not have the energy (shakti) to curse and insult; it is under the control of vyavasthit. Therefore, it is truly a 'record.' Once You know (jaano) this, then where is the reason for any irritation to affect You? If a record were playing. 'Chandulal is bad, Chandulal is bad, Chandulal is bad,' are you likely to get angry? You get upset because you believe, 'He spoke. He insulted me.' In reality he is not the one speaking; it is a record that speaks. He is returning, what was yours to begin with.
How wonderful is the arrangement of nature! This is a very important point to understand. Akram Vignan has clarified many things in details. In the topic of vyavasthit, this is a new talk! No Binding of Karma while Doing Karma
Questioner: I believe that karma is bound for sure, whenever any wrong action is done.
Dadashri: So is there no karma bondage in good actions? Questioner: Good and bad; they both bind karma, do
Questioner: Yes, but one has to suffer the fruits of karma he has already bound, does he not?
Dadashri: If one binds karma, then he is bound to have another life. But Lord Mahavir did not have another life! Shouldn't there be a way to not bind karma, in spite of doing karma activity?
Questioner: There must be.
Dadashri: Do you ever wish to not bind karma? There is a science through which one does not bind any karma even when he is doing' karma! You will find liberation when you know that science. Karma is Not the Obstacle to Liberation
Questioner: This current life is due to the effect of our past life karma, is it not?
Dadashri: Yes, this whole life one will have to suffer the effects of karma of his past life, and in doing so, if he does attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh), then new karma will be created and bound. Nothing is bound if you do not do raag
