________________ Dadashri: Yes, excitenment will commence. This excitement will bring on a mental war. That mental war will lead to a verbal war. The verbal war then may even come to a physical war. What if you remove the cause of all this from its very root? Everything will clear when you remove it from its root. So it is not worth getting into all these problems. Therefore, it is not worth keeping an intense mental note of anything. What is vyavasthit? Vyavasthit is when you do not keep a note of anything; that is vyavasthit. How can you call it vyavasthit when you make notes and keep them? Being exact in worldly life will impede your liberation If you do not make an intense mental note in the first place, then where is the problem? Wanting moksha and making an intense mental note; both these cannot occur together. Do people refrain from keeping an intense mental note? You have to stop making notes if you desire moksha. You have to get rid of such a notebook. In our business naïve that I was. I was not concerned with making notes of everything, if things become documented, it is fine and if it does not, that too is fine. I do not want such an account at all; people like me do not keep notes even if they have a shop. Otherwise, people keep a note of everything: 'Chandulal took one pair...Chaturbhai took one pair'. They write everything down. We used to keep one notebook in the shop but we would forget to write in it and so the the business suffered. Therefore notes improve efficiency of business and brings precision to worldly interaction, but it will not let you get out of your worldly life. And now, we do not have to trouble 'ourselves' by making notes of anything; "We do not even have to carry a notebook. What is the point of picking up a pen? It is good that 'we' are so naïve, and that 'we do not keep any notes. And therefore, no one keeps notes about 'us'. So my problem is solved and I am free. No note and no problems! Is that not helpful towards your goal? Intense mental notes perpetuates worldly life Questioner: It is important Dada but in the worldly life we have been taught to keep notes.
