nonliving thing even if it is as valuable gold, and it causes emotional agitation of an extreme type in you, then throw it away. It is not your relative. Anything that causes emotional agitation in you cannot be related to you. The real thing is that which gives you peace. The slightest cause of udvega is not the path of liberation. You should remain only in vega - you should remain only in motion.
If something causes udvega, for example if your son is not earning any money, then know that these situations causes you emotional agitationudvega. You should then stop entering into any discussion about money with him. You should stop all interactions related to money. Just have a casual conversation with your son, like, 'How are you? How are things?" Do you understand?
Questioner: We should let go of anything that causes udvega, but udvega is relative. Once all the evidences come together, udvega is inevitable.
Dadashri: Yes, udvega will not refrain from occurring but there is always a cause behind the occurrence of udvega. So what should you do about udvega? You have to uproot it.
Intellect the intellect brings on udvega
Questioner: Does ego ahambhav, ego with rich material, pride with my-ness abhimaan cause udvega?
Dadashri: No extra pride and bragging does not cause udvega; something else causes it. Say you have to sleep here with everyone else and the light overhead is dim. No one except you see a small snake come into the room. Will others who have not seen the snake sleep peacefully?
Questioner: Yes
Dadashri: How about the one who sees it?
Questioner: He will not be able to sleep.
Dadashri: Why is that? He has the knowledge about the snake coming into the room, others do not and so they are able to fall asleep. Now
