...no 'I-ness' and 'my-ness'
Then what is the third sentence that Srimad Rajchandra writes ?
Questioner: Potapanu no sense of 'I-ness' and 'my-ness'.
Dadashri: Potapanu means 'I am this and this is mine.' What is meant by 'no potapanu?' This body is not mine. This body verily is not mine. So all that belongs to the body is not mine. This mind mun is not mine. This speech is not mine.
This speech that is being spoken is not my speech'. This original taped record' is speaking. He (Ambalal ) is the speaker vakta. You are the listener shrota I am the knower-seer gnata drashta. This is the interaction vyavahaar of these three. 'We are not the owner of the speech. 'We are not the owner of the body. 'We are not the owner of the mind.
The sweetness of doership is the cause of worldly life
Questioner: What is garva ? Is there a difference between garva and abhimaan pride with 'myness'?
Dadashri: What happens when you place garva and abhimaan on the opposite sides of the scale? Do they weigh the same? Abhimaan will be a quarter of a pound and garva will be forty pounds.
Questioner: How is that, can you please explain that?
Dadashri: People do not understand abhimaan or garva. Abhimaan is different, garva is different and ahamkar is different.
Questioner: So does garva mean 'I-ness' hoonpad ?
Dadashri: No, the 'I-ness' hoonpad is ego. 'I am Chandulal' is ego. At times you may or may not have abhimaan, you may not even have garva. Where one is not and there to believe , 'I am is 'I-ness' hoonpad. Missing the swapаd the Self, stepping away, one enters the 'I-ness' hoonpad.
