will take you to liberation (moksha), even if it has to drag You there!
Questioner: But, Dada, sometimes there is a heavy force coming from the prakruti.
Dadashri: The stronger the prakruti, the greater will be the force.
Questioner: But, at the same time, Gnan also works with equal force.
Dadashri: Yes, even Gnan will work powerfully. This is Akram science so it will bring about the correct solution-through a struggle and a fight, if needed.
Free Yourself from All Your Past Life Agreements
Do you still feel 'I am the doer' anymore? Questioner: Not even in my dreams.
Dadashri: What are you saying? My-ness (mamata) goes away when doer-ship goes away. Your mamata has gone but the mamata of those with whom you made 'agreements,' for example, bound karma from the past life, still remains. Will you not have to fulfill those agreements? There is no problem if they let you off, but is anyone likely to let you off without you fulfilling the agreement?
Very rarely do you find such a 'real path' where you can attain the absolute state. You will find true independence, true liberation here. You will not have even God above you (as a superior). Such is the freedom you attain! You can afford to have the wife as your boss - there is no problem there. But you should not have God as your boss! The wife will remain your boss as long as she is alive, but God would become your boss forever, will he not?

Questioner: If ultimate liberation (moksha) does not occur, then does one have to come back?
Dadashri: If you do have to return, it will be only for one or two more lives. But what is the main thing? The main thing is that all the claims, the agreements that bind you, should come to end. But will you not have to settle your karmic account with your wife and the children? Let her claims that bind her, be taken care of by her.
Your pure awareness (shuddha upayog) does not diminish because of all the stock of karmic account. As that account gets settled with equanimity, Your state devoid of raag-dwesh (saiyam) will increase. This is called purusharth. As the saiyam increases, the karmic accounts also get settled (discharged, nikaal) fast. As it gets settled automatically, it ends up at the absolute knowledge, keval gnan level.
'You' do not have to do anything. You just have to decide, 'I want to remain firmly in Dada's Agnas.' And do not worry if You are not able to follow them. You have to make a strong firm and unwavering decision (nischay). Make a decision that *my mother-in-law scolds me, so with her I want to practice Dada's Agnas, and I want to deal with her with equanimity, without fail. Before you even see her, You have to make this decision. Then if you cannot settle with her, with equanimity, you are not liable for that. You are responsible for remaining in the Agnas and for your determination (your nischay), but you are not responsible for the result. Your nischay should be that You want to remain in the Agnas, and then do not worry if you are not able to do so. But do pratikraman for it, the way I have shown you. You committed aggression through thoughts, speech or action (atikraman), hence, do pratikraman. This is an easy, simple and straightforward path that needs to be understood.
