But what is garva? Garvaras is very sticky. Abhimaan anddocile in comparision. If abhimaan is a pound then garvaras hundred and sixty pounds!
is mild is one
Questioner: Can you explain garvaras with an example?
Dadashri: In abhimaan one does not have the sense 'I am the doer of all this.' In garvaras he believes 'I am the doer'. So being the doer in one thing, he also believes he is the doer in the entire universe. So garvras extends very far and wide. Does anyone do garva? There is garva in everything, 'I am doing that sense, is all garva.
When the awareness of 'I am doing' went away for Krupadudev, he attained right vision samkit and he sang, 'Mityon udayakarma no garva re - The sense of doership in the fruition of karma is gone.' The whole world is in the garva doership of fruition of the karma. There is no exception to that. This is because as long as one has not attained the Self, one is verily elsewhere, and therefore garva doership remains,
Why did egoism creep in? Because of ignorance. Ignorance of what? There is ignorance about who is the doing all this. That is why Narshinh Mehta said:
‘Hoon karoon, hoon karoon eyj agnanta Shakata no bhaar jeym shwan taaney Shrushti mandaan chhe sarva eni perey Jogi Jogeshwara kok jaaney'
'I am the doer, I am the doer, is verily the ignorance It is like the dog believing, 'I am pulling the cart (the bullocks are in fact pulling it) The universe is going on its own This is known by the rare yogi or the fully enlightened One'
