The authority of the non-Self reigns where there is nondha.
One cannot refrain from making intense mental notes. What is the greatest sign of ignorance? It is that of making intense mental note nondha. After attaining Gnan, nondha should not remain. Making intense mental notes and the non-Self pudgal stand together. The non-Self remains as long as there is nondha; during that time, the non-Self is the authority and not the Self.
That is why 'we' have to say something about nondha every fortnight or so. 'We have to keep warning everyone. By making intense mental notes, the non-Self comes in power and not the Self. There the Self is powerless.
Intense mental notes-nondha and opinion
Questioner: What is the difference between nondha intense mental note and and abhipraya opinion?
Dadashri: There is a difference. Nondha gives rise to the worldly life and opinions give rise to mind. Intense mental notes gives rise to the entire worldly life, the way it was - it is the whole gree tree all over again.
Questioner: But it is because we make notes that we form opinions,
no?
Dadashri: That is true but a nondha is not the same thing as opinion. Opinion is something we give after a nondha is made. We may give opinion of good or bad, but only if we make an intense mental note nondha of something. But making a nondha is the biggest mistake. We can deal with opinions.
Opinions give rise to the mind which you yourself will have to deal with later on. But making nondha gives rise to the worldly life all over
