________________ Dadashri; No. that is not garavata. How can you call that garavata? That is the main thing. That is like necter. 'We' do not have any garavata. I do not have ras garavata, 'We' do not have riddhi-garavata or siddhigaravata; no form of garavata. The whole world is rotting in garavata. The Gnani is never in garavata. Attain Liberation with help of the Gnani. God is very pleased with 'us'. What attributes will such a human. being will not have? He does not have garva doership, he does not have garavata any worldly indulgence, no inner inclination nispruha, no unmattata complacency. Questioner: All those things go away when one becomes highly spiritually elevated, no? Dadashri: No. But one is considered a Gnani only when all these kashaya go away. After they left, 'we' say, 'It is the 'taped record' that is speaking. Nobody in the world says, 'It is a taped record'. If what they say is good, they will swell with pride and say, 'I spoke so well. Look how well I spoke!" Whereas 'we' say 'it is a taped record that is speaking, because it is the speech without any ownership. Then there is no question of garva or garavata. There is nothing of the sort. There is no other hassle. The only sense of bondage is the inner intent bhav from past life of wanting others to attain the same bliss that I have attained. That is the only activity kriya. This is the fruit of that intent. Therefore, this is considered alaukik beyond this world and it is not worldly lalukik. Here 'our' speech, conduct and humilty vinaya, all three win over your mind. That eventually has to happen. You too will have to become like that. If you follow the one who has become like that, will you not become like Him too? Questioner: Yes, we will. Dadashri: That is all; there is nothing else to be done. You should take off after Him. Losses of countless past lives have to be recouped in one life. So you will have to be careful, won't you? This loss is from how many lifetimes? From countless past lives!
