________________ Dadashri: But alas! The intense greed lalacha does not go away. It takes a long time to get rid of intense greed lalacha. Questioner: What is the difference between an avaricious person lalachoo and one who proceeds according to his will and intellect swachhandi? Dadashri: There is no problem with being swachhandi but there is a big problem with being a lalachoo. Questioner: What is the difference between the inner block that impedes one's spiritual progress arkan and intense greed lalacha? Dadashri: Atkan is a different thing. It is possible to get rid of atkan; everyone has intense inner block atkan for sure, but it can be removed. There are many here (mahatmas) who have atkan and yet they are also able to abide by 'our' Agnas. Atkan is not a problem. But an avaricious person lalachoo will not be able to follow 'our' Agnas because when he is faced with situations that create the intense greed lalacha within him, he becomes deluded. He will not be able to maintain awareness. Tuber of intense greed lalacha Questioner: Is a person born with intense greed lalacha or does it arise through association and company? Dadashri: One is born with the tubers of intense greed lalacha. Questioner: So is the intense greed lalacha from this life or is it from the previous life? Dadashri: It is from one's previous life but in this life he becomes deluded. He will be free of intense greed lalacha when he does not become deluded. But it is not possible for one to remain undeluded. Intense greed lalacha is the worst thing. It will go away only when one dies. Because of the presence of the seed of intense greed lalacha, it will arise again in his next life. Intense greed lalacha will not go away and it kills a human being. Intense greed lalacha is the sign of ignorance agnan.
