Dadashri: No, garva will not occur. Garva only occurs as long as the decision 'I am Chandulal'remians. As long this wrong belief exists there is garva. Once this wrong belief leaves, garva will not remain.
Questioner: But that wrong belief does not go away that easily, does
it?
Dadashri: The wrong belief does go away for sure. 'We' remove it for you. There are many people whose wrong belief has gone and there is not just one wrong belief; 'I am his brother, his uncle, etc' there are many such wrong beliefs.
Questioner: But that wrong belief does not go away until You make us realize the Self swarupa, no?
Dadashri: No, it will not. That awareness bhan has to be attained. The awareness, I am not Chandulal, Chandulal is just for the worldly drama,' has to happen. Then saiyam the state without kashaya will prevail within. And when inner saiyam prevails, one will not taste garvaras the juice of doesrship. The bliss of saiyam arises so much that one has no need to taste the garvaras. Here, he tastes the garvaras because he has no such bliss. When there is no such bliss then at least there is this much sweetness available no?
The Gnani has no garva-doership
Indulging in garvaras will continue to increase keyf intoxication of ego. Then one becomes very intoxicated. How will this kefy come down? The intoxication of the illusion moha that has risen, how will it come down? The profit that comes is mandatory farjiat and the loss that comes is also mandatory. But when a person makes a profit, he claims, 'I earned it.' And when he incurs a loss, he says, 'God did it' or 'my stars are not favorable.'
One wants to taste the sweetness of the garvaras and that is the cause of the worldly life. The worldly life is not perpetuated by drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes or drinking tea. This garvaras is the reason which perpetuates worldly life. Garvaras is the only thing that no one likes to get rid of.
What does garva mean? I will explain this to you. When someone tells you he did four samayiks introspective meditation, you will see great
