________________ Dadashri: Yes, but that habit will have to be broken, no?. Until now you were 'Chandulal' and now You have become 'Shuddhatma'. So if that has changed, should this not also change? Will You not have to let go of the intense mental note? How long can you keep making such notes? 'We do not have any kind of notes, no matter what anyone might say. From the very beginning, 'we' have not kept any notes. What do worly people call that? They call it dissipation of previously held opinions purvagraha. Call it what you will, call it prejudice or anything else, but keeping intense mental notes is harmful. Intense mental note itself is a tanto. How can there be even the slightest of misery? If there is any misery, it is due to nondha. How can there be any misery in the ocean of bliss? Is this Gnan not the ocean of bliss? Questioner: It is Dada, it is. Dadashri: But do you still not make intense mental notes? Questioner: Dada, they linger on. Dadashri: Do not harbor them anymore and if it happens, erase them. To keep a tanto means to be obstinate. It means to insist! Don't you think that people come and say things to 'us' too? Questioner: But what is the reason to keep a tanto link of intense mental note, now? Dadashri: Yes, keeping links have not helped, only the account of karma has filled up. Why keep a note of changing karmas? What is the justice of nature when someone insults you? That person insults you due to fruition of karma. The time of expression of that karma is over for him, and it is over for you too. Now, you are done with it, you have nothing to do with it anymore. But now, you are seeing it again through the link tanto that you have maintained, and are bringing back that very karma fruition udaya that has passed and creating an entanglement. Now that other person is in some other karma all together at this time. Is this not worth understanding? This is very subtle.
