________________ Dadashri: When he gets hurt by one intense greed lalacha, he will indulge in another to heal the wound of the previous hurt. Questioner: So he has many ways to heal his problems! Dadashri: Yes. Still if he remains as the Self, abides by the Agnas and lets go of everything else, then he will be fine. But he himself does not know that he has intense greed lalacha. He is not even aware of that. Would he not free himself if he were aware? It is only when 'we' point out his intense greed lalacha to him that he becomes aware of it. He thinks he is dealing with everything, with equanimity. How can one be dealing with equanimity when his behaviour is socially unacceptable? How is that possible? There is no problem if he is intimate with his own wife, but if his conduct is not socially acceptable and then he believes he is abiding by Dada's Agnas, then it is a serious misuse of the Agna. It is the ultimate misuse of Agna. Even an ordinary person misuses the Gnani's Agnas, but a covetous person lalachoo commits suicide when he does; he is destroying himself. If he has the merit karma punyai, he will become aware of his lalacha but not otherwise. How can he possibly become aware? Because as long as he has interest in it, he is likely to lose himself in it. Therefore that seed is not destroyed and so it will sprout if it is watered. It has not 'sprouted' because the circumstances have not been right for it to do so. However the moment the right circumstances arise, it will sprout immediately. We may not see any roots or tubers there, but the tubers are hidden underneath for sure. They will sprout the moment they get water. So you should not be of the opinion that it is gone. The intense greed lalacha does not decrease that way, how can it? There will come an end for everything but not for the lalachoo. Effect of bad company For countless lives, only this has been ruined; the ruin is internal, due to the kashaya of intense greed. One ruins his life as well as of those around him. This happens because of bad company kusang. These 'tubers' will not go away once they become established. These tubers become huge. They
