Dadashri: To enjoy pleasure from wherever and whatever, snatch away from whomever. So then there is no law at all. He is not concerned about how shameful this is considered by the society, and much of his gluttony for pleasure is along the lines of public censure—lokanindyadisgraceful. Therefore such gluttony leads one into disgraceful acts and does not let him remain human.
Questioner: So what kinds of bhaav—intents arise within in such a state of gluttony?
Dadashri: One is driven towards experiencing pleasure from anything that comes in front of him. Lalacha means to intensely seek pleasure from the physical relative world all day long.
Questioner: Meaning he wants to experience pleasure at any cost?
Dadashri: Yes, correct. Our mahatmas who have attained this Gnan do not seek such pleasures. They settle the files—term used by Dadashri for the non-Self accounts, presenting in this life—with equanimity. What ever he gets he settles with it, but he will not be looking for it.
This intense greed has never been purged in any previous life and that is why all these miseries exist now. And one goes through miseries for infinite life times, is unlikely to get any happiness in future, such is the consequence of such gluttony. This lalacha is the very cause for exclusive misery in life. This intense greed has existed not only in the past life but also in many previous lives. Now if one fractures it in this one life then everything will be fine and smooth from hereon on. As long as it exists, the danger remains.
What does our Gnan—Self-knowledge say? What is it in this world that is worth enjoying? You are uselessly struggling in pursuing these pleasures. The bliss of the Self is the only experience worth pursuing.
Questioner: The bliss that exists in the Self does not exist anywhere
else.
Dadashri: Where else can bliss exist? All those pleasures are imaginary. If you imagine happiness-project happiness, you feel happy. One person says, 'I like jalebee-crisp syrupy golden sweet, very much,'
